Studio

The artist is known for her infamously well worn sketch pads which she takes everywhere. Anything which catches her eye, is hurriedly sketched down, thoughts, colours, mood and suggestions are scribbled in the margins. Using the best quality oil paints available, the artist labours over her mixing and blending of colour until the perfect balance is achieved.

The first brush stroke on the canvass is always the curve of the road this instinctive approach to painting makes Susan's work unique and instantly recognisable. The artist feels the roads and fields rise up around the buildings. This sensation stems from the speed at which we travel around the city and surrounding country side. Everything is glimpsed at high speed, roads sweep up around the bends, houses, buildings and walls appear to merge. The combination is striking and appealing to the eye.

Visitors are always welcome to Studio Ongar, ring first to ensure Susan is there.
