FEATURED ARTIST
Susan is a long-time Alaskan and resides in the coastal town of Seward. Susan had a passion for painting from an early age. She works in various media including watercolor, charcoal and pastel, and oil. Many of her paintings are done in the “plein air” tradition, i.e. outside among the elements, and are inspired by the dramatic seascapes and landscapes in south-central Alaska, including Humpy Cove and Resurrection Bay.
She is known for her paintings of seascapes and landscapes in and near Resurrection Bay, as well as historical buildings in and around the coastal town of Seward, Alaska.
She is currently focusing on paintings of Alaska’s indigenous people, reflecting their diversity in culture, language and tradition. Her goal is to portray contemporary Alaska natives in their journey to preserve culture and traditions in these modern times.
Susan’s paintings are found in both private and public collections, including ten oil paintings purchased by the State of Alaska for The One Per Cent For Fine Arts Program and two Alaska Contemporary Art Bank Purchase Awards.
