Suzanne Morris uses broken color and expressive brushwork to convey her impressions of a subject. She does not try to tell the whole story… just enough to say what is important to her, then allows viewers to “finish” the piece for themselves; thereby making each painting more personal to the viewer. She is fascinated by the play of light and shadow. It is the effect light has on a subject that draws her to it. The patterns created by light falling across a subject can transform an ordinary scene into an extraordinary one. It is the magic she feels when she comes across one of these scenes that she tries to capture on her canvases. This is accomplished by adherence to light and shadow patterns, and the use of vivid, descriptive color, and bold expressive brushwork. If she does everything just right, she is able to share a piece of that magic with those who view her work.
While she is predominately self -taught, Suzanne has studied with some of the best painters in the country. This group includes Kevin Macpherson, Scott Christensen, and Charles Sovek.
