Artwork Description

The Way Through

No. 3 of the Deep Reflections Collection
77cm high x 152cm wide x 3.5cm depth

⸻

An intuitive mixed media painting built through layered colour and movement, resulting in a one-of-a-kind work that cannot be replicated.

The Way Through is the third work in the Deep Reflections Collection, created to explore resilience and forward movement through life’s layered moments.

An elongated oval form stretches horizontally across the canvas, anchoring the composition while sweeping strokes of Payne’s Grey, dusky pink and soft blue-grey move with controlled energy around it. Fine metallic accents catch the light subtly, adding depth without distraction.

This work reflects the idea that strength is not found in avoidance, but in moving through - allowing each layer of experience to shape the path forward. The composition holds both tension and calm, creating a quiet balance between endurance and release.

Created through an intuitive layering process, each mark responds to the last, allowing the composition to evolve naturally. This ensures the work remains completely unique, with movement and energy that cannot be repeated.

Designed as a refined statement piece, The Way Through anchors a space with contemporary presence while maintaining emotional depth and stillness.

Room settings are a guide, please check measurements to be sure of the size.

Artist Bio

Suzanne Carter is a contemporary Australian artist based in Tomakin on the NSW South Coast.

Her practice explores connection as an evolving experience, expressed through multiple visual languages that move between sculptural textile form and expressive abstraction. Working intuitively, she builds each piece through a process of response and refinement, allowing compositions to develop their own rhythm, movement and energy.

Suzanne's current collections—including Botanicals, Woven, Deep Reflections, Exuberance, Koi, Our Choices and the Intuitive Linen Collection - explore different expressions of connection, from nature-inspired forms to quiet introspection, personal growth and bold, expressive movement. Her work often sits between painting and object, particularly within her textile-based pieces, where hand-constructed elements introduce depth, structure and tactile presence.

Her work has been exhibited across New South Wales and Victoria, including the Art Lovers Australia Spring Collection Exhibition in Collingwood, Melbourne. Suzanne is also part of Market Gallery on Edward in Batehaven on the NSW South Coast, where a selection of her original works is available throughout the year.

An award-winning artist, Suzanne has received Champion and First Prize at the Moruya Agricultural Show and multiple awards, including the Royal Canberra Show 2026. Most recently, she received the Service Art Award at the South Coast Private Hospital Wollongong Art Exhibition, recognising the artistic achievement and creativity of service personnel.

Her work is increasingly collected for its contemporary presence, emotional depth and ability to transform a space.

At the heart of Suzanne's practice is a simple intention:

"I create to connect — in colour, in words, in truth."
