| SUSANNE BELCHER, a native Californian and award-winning artist, found her artistic passion over seventeen years ago painting bold and colorful abstract southwest landscapes in oil and watercolor. Although she still considers herself a painter, she now incorporates paint with collage, photography, printmaking and more recently, transparency film. Susanne’s current body of work provides a rich backdrop for her strong graphic skills, versatility and love of experimentation. Using repetitious images as personal symbols, architectural elements (stairways, windows, doorways/openings) along with nature subjects, and often her shadow form, she creates her own unique architecture - sophisticated, intricate, complex, often three-dimensional, surreal and mysterious. |
| In her latest series, Susanne continues to play with the idea of choices and their consequences - man in relationsuip to nature and spirituality, transitions from darkness to light. The observer as well as the participant on a journey through the urban landscapes of her subconscious, she offers dimensional of layers of possibilities for the viewer. Some say it's like looking at a video or hologram, revealing hidden images, non-static, giving the illusion of movement and transformation. |
