Nature Weeps
“Suzanne’s painting presents a vivid green field that symbolizes nature’s vast, enveloping presence – a force that is insistent and dominant yet portrayed with an elegance that captivates the viewer’s senses.”

STATEMENT
I begin with what’s on my mind in that moment or my mood. Sometimes it starts with a color I want to use. I do not visualize what I want to create. I do not work from sketches. If I am in a Flow state, it all becomes natural. I improvise with what begins to happen. I seek to become lost, letting a greater source guide me in actions. I create because I always have. It is a need, a drug, love.
