Artist's Bios

Meet the Artist...

Susan Smith Bio

Picture
Susan's goal as an abstract artist is to create a provocative image that encourages viewers to look further. Layer by layer, she builds up the painting then obscures or unearths parts of it. This back and forth creates a dialogue which determines the direction of the piece.

She uses a variety of tools and techniques. Acrylic paints figure prominently, as well as paper which she finds or embellishes and uses as collage elements. Stamping, scratching, adding found objects and creating three- dimensional areas are all fair game. Kitchenware shops, hardware stores and antique stores are some of her favorite hunting grounds for non traditional tools.

As she works on the painting, adding elements, she may be drawn to certain areas which she will then enhance; conversely she may cloud areas to create a sense of mystery. As Susan lets the painting speak to her, she aims to develop a composition that will pique curiosity, inviting viewers to sit a bit and enjoy her imagery.
