About me - Susan Skelton

As far back as I can remember I have wanted to paint. So now that my boys 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 and landscape pieces that are striking and at the same time very pleasing to the eye.

 

I also have a great passion for painting the beauty of the female form.

 

I have travelled considerably throughout Asia, loving every minute, all the scenary, customs, food, sights and the ways of the people.

Currently Asia is a strong theme in my recent artworks, however who cannot love the beauty of New Zealand and the fun of an abstract.
