The Artist Says:
My goal as an artist is to paint with freshness, gusto and spontaneity. I'm attracted to the dramatic, and unique point of view in my subject matter. I look for high levels of contrast, intriguing shadows, and especially juicy and interesting colors to interpret. I hope that viewers of my art sense that I was having a great time when I was painting and that I knew exactly what I wanted to achieve and did it on the first pass!

Overview

I am an oil painter who loves to paint in the studio but especially "en plein air" (outdoors) from life by the ala prima method whenever possible. I've been called a "Pacific Colorist" by some, drawing color inspiration from these magnificent Hawaiian islands and elsewhere during frequent travel. I hope that my enthusiasm and passion for my subjects conveys visually in every painting. Above all I want viewers like you to sense the sheer joy and fun I experienced during the creative process.
Please enjoy your visit to this website and return often to view recent additions to my "Fresh Paint" collection. I always welcome hearing from you so don't hesitate to e-mail or call with your comments.

Biography
Susie Y. Anderson has been described as a "Pacific Colorist" with her own distinctive impressionistic style. She is a devoted and prolific oil painter, and is especially passionate about painting "en plein air" (outdoors). For her, this approach to creating a work revitilizes and renews her painting instincts. She is a juried member of Oil Painters of America (one of only seven artists selected from Hawaii), and a Signature Member of the Plein Air Painters of Hawaii. Wherever she travels, Susie finds inspiration for her work, ranging from the dramatic beachscapes and landscapes of Hawaii to the vast farmlands and snow-covered mountains of Park City, Utah.
Susie's paintings are in numerous private and corporate collections world-wide, and in the permanent collections of the Hawaii State Foundation on Culture and the Arts and the City & County of Honolulu. She has won many honors for her work in juried shows including six Best-of-Show awards. She was juried into the prestigious "Artists of Hawaii" show at the Honolulu Academy of Arts, and American Savings Bank selected 14 of her paintings for its 2001 wall calendar, and she was included again in the 2005 calendar. American Express Company showcased her talents as their featured artist at the 2002 ASTA World Travel Congress in Hawaii and commissioned a painting for Jim Lovell, NASA astronaut and keynote speaker. Buzz's Steakhouse, a historic island eatery, commissioned a painting for its lunar calendar annual poster.
Susie has lived in Hawaii since 1969 and is a graduate of the University of Southern California holding degrees in fine arts and medical illustration. She worked for the University of Hawaii School of Medicine as a medical illustrator and graphic designer for 14 years, and then formed her own litigation graphics company, Visually Speaking Inc., before becoming a full-time, professional fine artist. Although landscapes and beachscapes interest her most, she enjoys an occasional figurative piece and has begun a rich collection of non-Hawaii paintings attracted by a diversity of subjects and new challenges depicting the light and color of the western states. Susie has studied with Hawaii artists Lau Chun and Gloria Foss, and noted mainland artists Kevin MacPherson, Ken Auster, Camille Przewodek, Charles Sovek, Ted Goerschner, Steve Songer and Doug Braitwaite. Whether in Hawaii or elsewhere, you might find Susie at inspiring locations容specially at sunrise or sunset預rmed with paints and easel, interpreting the day`s remarkable light on canvas. She hopes you enjoy her work and always welcomes your e-mail and phone calls.
Susie has been a member of The Gallery at Ward Centre since 2001, and is also represented by Nohea Gallery in Honolulu and Maui Hands and Kaukini Galleries on Maui. You may also find her reproductions at more than 20 locations island-wide, including the Honolulu Academy of Arts Gift Shop. Many of Susie's original paintings are also showing on an on-going basis throughout The Honolulu Club, Oahu's top fitness and spa club. In Park City, Utah, where Susie is a part-time resident, her reproductions may be found at Right Angle Framing and Right At Home.
