Talking to Artists

Synopsis: We had an engaged conversation (sorry about the tech challenges) about how we approach our art practice and the drive to constantly improve our technical skills. Sue has a complete idea in her head before she starts creating - a very different process than how I work and so interesting. We talked about white space and calming art with a quirk of humour. And we chatted about the benefits of outsourcing parts of your business to professionals vs trying to do everything yourself. About the Artist: Suzanne ( or Sue but never Susan) translates  expansive feelings into tangible form using wax and precious metals.  Silver and gold fabricated frames hold miniature gouache paintings to reflect the details of our lives that we carry with us. Layers of painted and fused encaustic medium form an ethereal base in which to tether these elements. Sketches and line work connect the two and tell the story of the myriad experiences that combine to make up our unique, individual worlds. The end results are minimalist pieces that belie their complicated origins, drawing the viewer in and creating a feeling of calm wonder. To see more of Sue's work, please visit: · Instagram  · Website
