Patchwork Landscape Under a Silver Moon

In this abstracted landscape, geometric planes and layered textures evoke rolling hills, cultivated fields, and open sky under the quiet presence of a silver moon.
Bold contrasts between luminous greens, golds, and deep blacks are softened by translucent veils of turquoise and soft whites, creating a sense of movement and mystery. The cheetah-spotted yellow band cuts diagonally through the composition like a road or ridge, adding rhythm and vitality.
This piece reflects the artist’s ongoing exploration of natural forms, balance, and the emotional resonance of colour and pattern.
On stretched canvas with gallery finished edges matching the face, it is finished in a satin varnish (please note that all images are taken before the varnish to reduce reflection). Back of the canvas is professionally finished.
Note that insitu examples may not be to scale.

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.
