Tree of Life

BY Susan Duke
MEDIUM Oil on canvas

I paint in oils with palette knives. The dramatic quality of the oil medium is greatly enhanced by the bold impasto effects of this technique. I love color and passion in my paintings. I want to share the energy and intrinsic beauty of the image I am portraying.

I want my work to both energize and relax the viewer. Take them to a different place - like an instant vacation.

I have been a working artist for my whole professional life - 40 years. I have earned 25 National, State and Local awards.

My works have been successfully represented in galleries locally and in 8 major upscale art markets around the country: NYC/Soho; Boston; Boca Raton; New Orleans; Dallas; Aspen; La Jolla and Carmel.
