Susiehyer is jokingly known to her friends and fellow artists as a painting
maniac . “I’ll paint pretty much anywhere, anytime, and I don't mind
trying anything” she says. "Its all fun and I can always set up some kind
of challenge for myself". You can find her
painting in 90 degree heat on a Denver sidewalk, standing knee-deep in snow on a
piece of cardboard, or painting at night with a headlamp on top of her head.
Always wanting to learn and grow as a painter, she constantly tries new
things with new materials and ways of putting down paint. She works easily on
cotton or linen canvas or canvas paper, hardboard, birch panels, or masonite. A
few years ago she was working strictly with walnut oil based paints and mediums.
“What happens if I paint THAT but do it THIS way?” is a phrase she can be heard
saying. This accounts for the slight stylistic differences in the look of the
paintings. Most recently she has chosen to focus on the visual aspects of
painting, thanks to the influences of such noted painters as Kevin Weckbach and
Quang Ho. Landscape painting is, at the moment, her current passion, although
“any subject matter is fair game for a painting exploration”.
The following pages represent a cross section of the type and range of work
she does, both in the studio and on location. You can either click on the image

contrast of a piece of work. The only way to truly experience each painting is
to see it in person!
