Currently specializing in highly detailed, finely crafted figure, hand painted with acrylic craft paints on gourds. Suzy is an accomplished artist in many mediums, including oils, watercolor, pencil and charcoal, chalk pastels, colored pencil, pen and ink, and acrylics on gourds and rocks. Well versed in layout, composition, shading, and perspective, she also has a love of experimenting with color mixing and has studied the psychology of color. Subject matter ranges from landscapes to studies and portraits of animals to fantasy. Art is imaginative and typically emotes a sense of tranquility. Suzy's art has evolved from a love of photo realism and vibrant color over the course of the past 50 years. (Hey, she started at 3½.) Her sketches range from complex, detailed line drawings to sensitive, shaded renderings. Her pastel illustrations reflect hues from the vivid to the sublime. She loves detail, and delights in adding little surprises, inviting the viewer to stay awhile and look for nuances, stopping to study the piece and pondering the hints at a story in progress. Suzy has been the Arts Administrator to the Ava Art Guild for the past three years. She has designed new brochures for the Ava Art guild as well as numerous newsletters and flyers, instituted having festival booths at two events, including building display stands and all prep work.
