“Blessed are they who see beautiful things in humble places…”

-Camille Pissarro

Hello, I’m Susan and I’m so glad you’re here! I’m an abstract painter based in Northern California. My work is influenced by the closeup details of life—colors, patterns, textures, the play between light and dark. It’s the little things that often get overlooked and taken for granted that send me into a creative swoon. Whether I’m at home, or hiking in the mountains or walking in the city, these mundane miracles are everywhere if you only look.   Everyday ordinary sights are what fill my creative cup and influence my work.

 It’s all about slowing down, taking a breath and seeing, really seeing, the world around us.

 My goal is to strike a chord in you, to inspire you to see the world differently and to take this walk with me as you explore my paintings.
