New Zealand Contemporary Artist

Susan Skelton - Golden BallAs far back as I can remember I have wanted to paint, and now that the children have grown and spare time has come back into my life I have picked up a paint brush once again.

I just adore colour, strong texture, warmth and the feeling of being drawn into a painting. My influences come from many streams; an angry ocean, soft warm sand, the sun rising through heavy cloud, a clear blue sky. By incorporating these facets into my work I produce abstract pieces and female nudes that are striking and at the same time very pleasing to the eye.
