Susanne Werner, “SOJOURNS”  Artist’s Statement: “Experimentation; the act or test to demonstrate or illustrate a truth. I have come to understand my truth is best described visually as a newly discovered stilled moment. This requires turning my over active work-a-day brain to pause, and let my intuitive mind speak through paintbrushes, paint, paper and enough time to be heard.”

Susanne Werner explores the meaning and importance of discovery and place in both real and symbolic journeys with her use of vibrant colors, multiple layers of texture and evocative geometric shapes in her water and mixed media pieces rendered in the abstract. Susanne's paintings give the contemporary experience of life a visual and emotional reference.
Artist’s Statement: “I have been told that I have an Asian soul, and my style reflects that quality. I work with water media paints as well as silk dyes. Both methods begin as a blank white sheet. My paintings are linked with nature and animals. The blending of silk, ink and paint creates luscious results, which are difficult to reproduce with other mediums. I often leave negative space. This is not leftover space, but rather intended space. It allows you, the onlooker, to project your imagination into the painting.”
