SUSAN SMOOT
THOMASVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA
Artist Statement
My inspiration for painting comes from the natural world and how we live in it. Beautiful trees, in sunlight and shadow with foliage moving, constantly forming and changing shapes call to me. Old houses, untended fields, utilitarian barns, while seemingly commonplace, strike me as lovely images to be cherished. This deep attraction I feel for our world is what I try to capture for the viewer, hoping these quiet moments can forever be enjoyed.
