Statement

Like many young artists, Suzanne experimented with many subjects (figurative, abstract, expressionistic, etc.) and materials (oil, charcoal, pastel, etc.) before settling on contemporary realist landscapes, both in watercolor and oil. After discovering landscape she has not turned back from the challenge and excitement of painting this earth.
