About Susan Peele

I have lived in many places around the world, being a child of a military father. From this I have been exposed to different cultures and many ways of thinking. I am grateful to have a perspective of many lifestyles and attitudes that I wouldn’t otherwise have had.

 

It was three years ago, while going through a difficult divorce, that I discovered emotions inside me that were very powerful, yet I didn’t know what to do with them. Although I had no formal art training, I found painting to be an easy outlet, and I started to paint based purely on emotion. I recall sitting on the floor in the middle of the night, tears streaming down my face, with a paintbrush working feverishly on the canvas. That first piece, “Freedom”, represents a new life of unfiltered expression, free to be myself without hesitation or fear of oppression. Since then I have continued to paint emotions including love, passion, and desire.

 

Many of my paintings tell a little about my passion for people and for life. I try to depict a person’s soul on canvas. I love it when someone tells me they connect with my painting, especially when they turn around and tell a story of their own struggle, joy, or passion. I believe we are all linked together by our struggles and desires, and I hope to show this through my art.
