Susan enjoys a variety of two-dimensional mediums such as acrylic painting, pyrography and drawing. Her work revolves around inspiration from the greatest artist of all: Mother Nature. By weaving nature into her art, she finds escape through the daily hustle. Her imagery comes from a desire to feel free from structure and the weight of the world. The calmness of the ocean shore, the weightlessness of a butterfly’s flutter, or the feeling of time standing still under a canopy of trees can be found throughout her work. Her images also evoke memories and times throughout her life when she has felt freedom from reality. For the past 9 years, she has been blending her passion for the arts with teaching as a public-school visual arts educator and more recently, a teaching artist at the Nelson Atkins Museum of Art
