SusieQ Paintings co-created
with groups of people, 2008 | ||
| Consciously co-created pieces are executed during an afternoon, evening, or over several days. Each piece reflects the positive energy of the participants and that particular event. These uplifting paintings are "impressionistic / non-objective" in style. SusieQ participates in events, such as concerts, conferences, expositions and television shows. For an entertaining, professional presentation, please feel free to contact her for your next special event. | |
Upon completion of a piece that SusieQ has created with a group of people, she signs her work and paints one dot for each participant that contributed to the piece. This is her way of honoring that process. Below is a close of up one such painting with
73 dots. The dot string typically starts on the bottom side of the tail of the letter 'Q.' This is a close up of the painting "Reflections of Humanity"

Green Event Paintings: 2007
"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.
Do you hear someone singing "Susie Q" by Creedence Clearwater Revival?
How about the "Suzie Q" version by The Rolling Stones?
Wouldn't that be fun to paint to!
Thank you for viewing my work.
Susan
