"Understanding one’s emotions, character and passions increases the flow of energy to the human heart and spirit."
Suzanne’s sensibilities as an artist are revealed through a vivid color palette and dynamic energy. Connecting physically and psychologically to the spirit of the land, the art represents a metaphor for her interior landscape.
Suzanne Jack paints both inside the studio with meditative music and en plein air. She particularly enjoys mountain and scenic venues which stir the senses. Her body of artwork has been a continual theme of awakening and a journey of understandings along the pathway of enlightenment. She loves color and often saves her disposable painting palettes during the painting/mixing process because beautiful abstract designs are often revealed. Suzanne likes to feel the way light moves through form and how shadows fall across areas and note how areas flow into one another, responding to the flow and energy of light and harmony. It is like choreographing a ballet.
