ARTIST'S STATEMENT

​

My artistic journey is driven by a deep appreciation for the world around me, which finds expression in my paintings spanning still life, nature, and cityscapes. Through series-based exploration, I allow themes to emerge and evolve, embracing shifts and changes, towards abstraction, minimalism, or intricate detail.

At the heart of my work lies an unwavering pursuit of beauty—a quest to uncover the extraordinary in the ordinary. Whether capturing the play of light on a still life, the majesty of nature's serenity, or the understated charm of everyday scenes, I am continually inspired by the inherent beauty that surrounds us in the common place. - Susan Harris, 2024
