Susan Dunlop Art

GETTING CREATIVE IN THE WOODS

BIOGRAPHY

b.1966 Scotland UK.

Further Education - Interior Design, Napier University, Edinburgh, Scotland. Graduated 1988.

Emigrated to Canada in 1989.

Ran to the hills in 2002.

Mostly a self-taught painter, Susan works in oils, using a palette knife almost exclusively, creating vibrant small and medium sized canvases since around 2007.

Focusing mainly on rural landscapes, Susan is also inspired by vintage vehicles, motorcycles, animals as well as buildings and architecture.

Continuing with the knife-wielding creativity, Susan enjoys exploring other mediums and produces hand-printed linocuts, as well as creating unique leather items and carved antler jewelry, all requiring the delicate use of some very sharp implements!

ARTIST'S STATEMENT

Living in the woods of the Madawaska Highlands in east-central Ontario, I am continuously inspired to recreate the fleeting light & shadows of ever-changing, rural landscapes using an expressive, yet realistic style incorporating both dry and impasto applications using alla prima and sgraffito techniques.

As a multi-media artist, I also develop print designs from my sketches and like to utilize organic materials to design and craft unique items for your enjoyment.
