COMMENTS:

"Susan's paintings are alive with energy and vitality, and reflect back to us the power we all have to transform our world."

Carol Aubrey, author "Fearless Thinking:
Moving Past the Obstacles to Personal & Social Evolution


"You've a real gift for expression. I loved them all. To me, they are the imagery of the symphony of a dream.... fluid expressions of emotional states-of-being - systematic and deliberate, yet totally free!!"

Rob Carhart, One Planet United


"The paintings are really beautiful. Nice energy... love the colors!"

Rev. Ginny Lloyd, Florida Intuitive Center


"Suzie - you certainly created wonderfully inspirational and positive work!"
Juliette Lippman


"I love your work...the heart-centered colors, the feeling of "upward reach." I knew before I saw the title, that Santa Barbara dunes was a California location. We just got back from our first venture to San Francisco and the CA coastline. You nailed those trees. ;) More, you nailed the spirit!"
Ellen & John Mooney, Publishers
Natural Awakenings Morris County Edition


"I love the art we did at the conference [Natural Awakenings Publisher's Conference] - also enjoyed looking at your other creations on your website - how fun to do it in groups; it has inspired me to purchase oils, brushes, palette and easel for my daughters and I to dabble with. We are just beginning but it is a lot of fun so far! Thanks for the inspiration"
Ursula Ervin
Natural Awakenings Publishing Corporation


"It was a tremendous pleasure for Volunteer Florida, The Governors Commission on Community Service and Volunteerism to work with 'SusieQ' as a part of our most recent AmeriCorps and National Service Conference. The collaborative painting that came as a result of 'SusieQ's' work represented not only the spirit of service but also serves as an artistic expression of the unity and strength of the AmeriCorps and National Service family. 'SusieQ' is not only an artist but a visionary."
Amieko Watson, Director of National Service Programs
The Governors Commission on Community Service (Volunteer Florida)

"EVENTSCAPES" Paintings created in public and private venues.

"EARTHSCAPES" Landscapes of a cooler shade.

"INNERSCAPES" Art from the quantum side.

My life is joy; my artwork is a reflection of that joy, and appreciation for all that is.
It is pieces like these that I am creating in public places, as part of live concerts, television shows, presentations and meetings. These pieces reflect the positive energies of the people attending these events.

Have you a photograph you'd like to have me consider as subject matter for a painting, or would you like to receive invitations as to where I'll be event painting... send me an email.

Thank you for viewing my work.
     Susan
