Artwork Description

The gum tree is an Australian collective cultural identity. They are the most abundant group of trees in Australia and have adapted to almost every Australian natural and urban landscape and climate. They have also found a significant place in the cultural landscape, featuring heavily in Australian art, books, stories, songs, poems, movies and television.
But for me they are the essence and spirit of being Australian. I have painted my Ghostly Gums solidly and silently standing together in the evening dusk.
Brush loads of muted colour provide an interesting background to suggest the evening light filtering through the trees giving a ghostly feeling. My gum trees are so beautiful.
Acrylic paint on stretched canvas, sealed with a coat of satin gloss varnish. It is ready to hang.
This original painting comes with a Certificate of Authenticity.

Artist Bio

Susanne is a Gold Coast-based artist whose work transcends the ordinary, inviting viewers into a world where emotions and stories take precedence. By skillfully manipulating shapes and colors, she moves beyond mere representation, creating compositions that are both evocative and thought-provoking.

Her approach is deeply intentional, using stylized forms to distort the familiar and reveal a deeper essence. Each brushstroke is a deliberate choice, balancing abstraction with recognition to encourage interpretation and engagement. Rather than simply depicting reality, she seeks to elevate it, offering a fresh perspective on the everyday.

Drawing inspiration from a diverse range of influences, Susanne seamlessly blends tradition with a touch of the avant-garde. Every canvas becomes an experiment—an exploration of perception, form, and feeling. Through her work, she challenges conventional ways of seeing, embracing the freedom that comes with artistic expression.

Rooted between the ocean and hinterland of Queensland’s Gold Coast, her surroundings provide a rich source of inspiration. This connection to nature and place subtly informs her palette and compositions, adding depth to her visual storytelling.

Ultimately, Susanne’s art is a celebration of stylization and its transformative power. By bridging the tangible and the intangible, she encourages contemplation, sparks conversation, and reminds us that beauty lies in perception—waiting to be discovered in every brushstroke.
