Mimosa Flower 2 Print

The name “Q” originates from the nickname by which my father called me: “Susie Q.” He was the one who taught me to paint. I like to do images that are a little different. Unique. The result is the work you see today. Nature is of great interest - the intensity of color and uniqueness of pattern are beyond what the human mind could imagine. Whether I see a vibrant sunset with wild clouds or a creature whose coloring seems to glow in the light, I immediately pick up my camera or imagine how to paint it. Painting or photographing images from nature provides a plethora of emotion - perfection and imperfection, order and chaos. The work comes through, not from me - the Universe speaking its mind through one of its own creations. Hopefully you’ll hear the voice and see the sights of the Universe, too, through this work.
