I have to agree with the gallery's viewpoint of Susan's work:
"Susan's collections are highly stylized series
of narrative landscapes reminiscent
of the lifestyle photographs
of Slim Aarons and the post-­‐modern environmental style of
Alex Katz and David Hockney.
Evocative of the world of casual elegance, 
Susan's paintings beautifully capture the colors and themes 
of summer on canvas"
When taking in these high voltage versions of dreamy settings, I
 feel the urge to dive right into that sparkling swimming pool, 
and sip an iced tea under that porch.  
The vibrant colors and landscapes are soothing, 
yet are created in an almost imaginary cartoon-like fashion 
making them even more intriguing.
I would love one last dance with summer 
and maybe hanging one of these beauties to gaze upon 
all winter long is the anecdote to keeping the winter blues away!
Hope to see you there!
