SUSAN LEVENSON,
Artist Statement

After careers in several art disciplines, my retirement has enabled me to explore plein
air painting with watercolors. I love the
magical world I escape too when I am
painting.
I love the fluidity of the paint that allows me to manipulate the medium, requiring intuition, to control the  unpredictable.

This gives heart and feeling to my work.

Watercolor has an overwhelming array of techniques to explore and conquer which takes painting to higher levels. I never stop learning.

Painting close to nature has been most joyful. It has made me conscious of my love of life and the way I see the world.
