Kisses and Cuddles

I’ve always admired the work of Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque; they used multiple vantage points to fracture images into geometric forms. The cubism movement was one of the most groundbreaking of the early-20th century leading almost directly to experiments with non-representation by many different artists. Artists working in the Cubist style went on to incorporate elements of collage and popular culture into their paintings and to experiment with sculpture.
So, I have been capturing the essence of Cubism; enjoying playing with a reality that is fragmented and overlapping, suggesting a fourth dimension - that space and form are inextricably bound.
I have chosen subject matters that represent what we do in our day to day lives.

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.
