About the artist:

"Art is my full time job but and I acknowledge the fact that I am incredibly lucky it is also something I have loved since the as far back as I can remember. Located in the Pocono Mountains of the Keystone State of PA, I am surrounded by the clean air, natural beauty and roaming wildlife around my home, all of which are perks that come with living here and over time have proven to provide me with unlimited inspiration and imagination. All of my textured abstract paintings are created with a palette knife using oils, acrylics and sometimes whatever else is next to me that a painting calls for. Contemporary modern art can come in different styles and where the artist usually focuses on either the color and/or design, my focus first and foremost is on the sculpted composition, heavy texture and then the color, which is why a palette knife is always my first and most important tool and a paint brush if ever used, is always secondary. I love creating all kinds of subjects in my style. modern and abstract paintings are the most freeing for me since I can get in front of a blank canvas and just go for it without worrying if someone else will like it or not, after all, it is my expression of what I see in that deep down place of my subconscious, completely subjective with absolutely no rules or constraints. I've heard people talking very generally about ANY textured art out there as being "globs of paint"... I feel there can NEVER BE TOO MUCH Texture, even if in "globs" :) So long as it is done right and does not come out looking amateur and sloppy. I consider it "controlled chaos" and that type of control can only come with time, experience, constant desire to make something out of nothing and an artists own ability to be creative, innovate and experiment. So what is it that I paint with my palette knife? pretty much everything... sculpting dragonflies, butterflies, koi fish, flowers like poppies and orchids. Other art I love are simple 1 or 2 tone geometric abstract paintings in dramatic bright solid colors as well as metallic textured gold silver and bronze modern paintings. "Simple" heavily textured seascapes and minimalist abstract landscapes are also some favorites, when creating them my mind wonders to a relaxed and completely freed state. They also have an especially modern look and feel which is perfect for the contemporary home or office and hopefully they will make you feel as relaxed looking at them as I feel when creating them. You can take a look around to see some of my previously sold paintings by navigating the side menu. These art works are available on a commission basis when my work load and schedule allows for it, please keep in mind that since each painting is a one of a kind original with each palette knife stroke done by hand, that no pieces are ever exactly the same. Most people like purchasing completed ready to ship canvas paintings and I do constantly have new completed modern, floral and abstract art for sale in my Etsy Store (link at the top of this page), be sure to check them out, this may save you in both the wait time and the sale price. Thank you for your interest in my original art! ~Susanna"
