Suzan uses drips and splatters and abstract shapes in her mixed media paintings, which is usually reserved for making an art piece grittier, edgier, or grungier. But by using bright beautiful colours in her pieces, her artwork instead exudes enthusiasm and liveliness. I love the way she uses her stenciled letters and weathering effects.
