Paintings have a life of their own that derives from the painter's soul. ~ Vincent van Gogh
While most of Suzanne's time is devoted to photography and digital imaging, painting is her first love. There is a sensual immediacy to the strokes, scrapes, and markings of applying paint to canvas. For the most part, Suzanne is a portrait painter in a realistic style, but her best work comes when there is a freedom to paint from her soul.
