Artis Statement/Extended Bio/Quote
Her love of nature and horses continually nourish and drive her artistic practice.
Suzan’s equine artworks are infused with her experience. In her Equine Nocturne series
Observing the horses are time in pasture in the night. Observing horses natural behaviors grazing, socializing and keeping watch for predators. It’s a mostly quiet time under a blanket of stars.
“There’s nothing like a great horse in the mountains!”
