Susan pondered for years the idea of how to infuse healing properties in her paintings. As a way to integrate more textural effects, she first initiated the approach with the Nature’s Resurgence series. The series is an early step in experimentation as Susan incorporates dried herbs into the background of an energetic, floral composition. Subtle yet bold–this series directly correlates to the endless possibilities of nature’s healing capabilities and potential for regrowth.



This exploration was in reverence to the health, healing and harmony that mutually exists between humanity and nature. In the Nature's Resurgence series, smaller speckling of textures accompany the emerging petal motif as a continued exploration of dimensionality and longevity.
