ABOUT SUZI
I am a self-taught artist. I aim to evoke spiritually uplifting common threads of the transcendent that surpass personal perspectives.
I am a Maryland native, lived in Austin, Texas for many years, and am back in Maryland.
ABOUT MY PAINTINGS
All paintings are acrylic paint on 1-1/2" deep canvas stetchers. I paint the edges continuous with the front, so no framing is needed. All paintings are UV-varnished and ready to hang with hardware (wire and eyes) attached. One person can handle a 48"x48" painting without too much trouble. They don't weigh much. Unless they're framed, then they weigh as much as a mid-size dog and you'll need help, especially if you have a rotator cuff situation or a small wingspan.
Here's a lifesize (!) print of Reminiscence 1 in a hospital inpatient unit workroom, with chairs in tragic disarray. Note the instant serenity it imparts to an otherwise dreadfully beige room.
ABOUT MY PHOTOGRAPHY
I've shown my photography for many years and my work was in the Texas Governor's Traveling Exhibition. I've had images in 12 Johns Hopkins Federal Credit Union calendars and my photo of a Baltimore County farm was on the cover of the 2020 calendar. See more info here about prints.
