Susan Easton: A Survey of Nature Abstract
Nature
"The unapologetic presence of nature and my attempts to align myself with this has been my guide for as long as I can remember.

Susan Easton Biography
Born and raised in upstate New York, Susan now lives and paints on a small farm in rural Georgia. After teaching art at several schools throughout her career, Susan is now able to focus solely on her own work. Her technique begins with uncontained energy that allows the paint to dictate the subject before refining the image. In essence, Susan’s conversation with the viewer always begins with a conversation with the paint.
