About the artist
Born and raised in Scotland, Susan emigrated to Canada after graduating from Napier University in Edinburgh with a degree in interior design. Initially working in Toronto as a visual concept artist, she eventually ran for the hills of the Madawaska Highlands, where she has been living for more than 20 years.
In that time, Susan refined her painting style and added linocut printmaking and leatherworking to her varied list of artistic skills.
Susan has rich exhibition history. Her work is widely popular, collected by individuals and public institutions.
Artist statement
Mostly a self-taught painter, I work in oils with a palette knife. Focusing mainly on rural landscapes of Ontario and also my home country of Scotland, I can also be inspired by vintage vehicles, motorcycles and animals.
I am continuously inspired to recreate the fleeting light and shadows of ever-changing, rural landscapes using an expressive, yet realistic style incorporating both dry and impasto applications and using alla prima and sgraffito techniques, all applied with a palette knife.
As a multi-media artist, I also develop print designs from my sketches and like to design unique decorative items from leather and antlers.
