Artwork Description

Another in my Venus Series. Meet Sassy Sally – she is No 4 in the Series.
As a mental diversion between commissions and painting, I often explore what I can do with all the off-cuts from my wood projects. I usually toss these offfcuts into a box as I hate to throw anything away.
I have made faces before from these pieces - so I again started assembling bits together (a bit like doing a jigsaw). Eventually my face started to emerge. I then cut a few more pieces necessary to complete my her.
Each piece was shaped, hand painted then assembled to create this colourful and vivacious face. When completed I securely adhered her to a backing board and made a frame to enhance her and create a bright and striking piece of art.
All the pieces are painted in acrylic paint with a final gloss coat. They are then securely adhered to a timber framed board.
Sally is a very sassy lady, isn’t she? She would be a bright and vibrant pop of colour for a corner of your home.

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.
