Susanne is an abstract expressionist painter. Her non-objective art combines the flow and movement of paint creating strong textures, colors, and energy. Her entry into the world of painting came out of a long experience with garden design. Applying many of the same elements of this design, she puts brush to a canvas rather than shovel to the earth. She tries to achieve an organic feel to her paintings with a strong emphasis on abstract shapes, brush strokes, tones, and textures to create expressionistic visual poetry. These paintings are seldom abstracted from anything specific in the material world.

Susanne Scherette King
Each canvas is approached without any preconception. Color evokes emotion; emotion evokes color. The creative-process used on these paintings involves continual change moving through layers and layers of color and medium. This process evolves into an expression of translucent organic form. Like nature, sometimes the elements have a life of their own. Paint, water, and oil mix and create a synergy emerging on the canvas. Other pieces expose the, perhaps, vulnerable layers beneath. Each piece becomes its own personal narrative, always allowing the story to continue.
