Susan Nuttall

As an artist, Susan Nuttall is continually excited by the properties of color, light and shadow as they reflect the image and her own sense of time, place and inner harmony. Using thumbnail sketches, she lays out an idea with a very rough notion of the compositional elements. Once satisfied that she has an idea worth pursuing, Susan begins her work.

Paying great attention to detail in the composition, she values all of the elements in any given work as she breathes life into each piece. Susan mostly uses the technique of texturing with oils, giving her paintings their very own style.   All paintings are heavily textured to represent the different textures of nature and their colors.

“I am fascinated with both the visual elements and my own emotional needs as an artist. I must find harmony, color and form in each painting.  Once completed, each piece must stand on its own.”
