Artist Susie Zol was raised in the green mountains of Vermont. Her family is filled with artists. Musicians, weavers, ceramicists, painters, and photographers have all had their influence on her. She is drawn to nature in all its forms and finds it frequently emerging as a theme in her work. Every time she approaches the canvas, she is ready to gain an understanding of her emotional and intellectual connection with life. There is always a reflection from within, along with the gift of clarity and purpose. She paints intuitively, letting layers of paint, fabric; collage and paper interact and unfold into a story. When she discovers the story within the painting, its meaning comes into focus. When the meaning has been revealed, her painting is complete.
