Artist bio

I am a scenic, portraiture, and still life artist that is known for a vibrantly colored realistic style of the subject.
My art interest began in 2000 after a longstanding career as a U.S. Treasury Agent in Grand Rapids. I started learning to paint through various workshops presented by high profile artists continued by practicing my skills from information I have gleaned from numerous art publications and nature's inspiration.
My artwork has been exhibited in western Michigan galleries and I have participated in many juried fine art fairs in said area. Awards include Grand Haven 2005 Artist of the Year and 2009 winner of a poster competition both presented by the Grand Haven Area Arts Council. Some of my still life pieces are on display at Grand Rapids Fred & Lena Meijer Heart Center and Lemmen-Holton Cancer Center.
About the work
Title: Venetian Waters

Art form: 2-D

Medium: oil on canvas

Year created: 2011

Description of work: This collection of four oil paintings on canvas (each 24" x 30") is the result of an enchanting visit to Venice, the city of canals, bridges, art, music, and great cuisine. While meandering through the cobblestone streets or enjoying a cappuccino, I couldn't help but be fascinated at the rich beauty of the reflective waters surrounding the city's unique structures. I viewed it as an adult Disneyworld filled with color and delightful things to do at every turn. It was also a surprise to stumble upon a symphonic event in St. Mark's Square by hearing this heavenly music wafting through the lanes until we were lured toward the musicians. It's a pleasure to share my artwork at such a great venue as Artprize. Thank you for visiting and to view more of my artpieces, please visit my website at www.susansupanich.com
