Susan Rose
My drawings and paintings are inspired by the beauty of the prairie, the sky and the creatures that call it home. I like to think of the natural world around me as "God's Canvas", and I am challenged to attempt to capture an essence of what I observe on this "canvas" with others in my art. I am particularly drawn to focus on the small, but beautiful, elements in nature that are easily overlooked or taken for granted. I enjoy working in several different media, depending on the subject.
Nature and the Flint Hills is the subject of most of my work. My enjoyment of bird-watching and photography led me on the path of creating a series of regional bird paintings.
I am a member of local Wamego, KS based, artists association, The Columbian Artist Group and the Missouri Valley Impressionist Society. Art has been selected in juried regional and international shows, and is in numerous private collections and featured in SouthWind Art Gallery books "State of the Art-Kansas", based on work in the Kansas 150 Show, and "Topeka: A Great Arts Town", featuring work from the Paint Topeka event, and part of the Flint Hills Discovery Center's 2013 "Through the Artist's Eyes" exhibit, and selected to be part of the 2014 Symphony of the Flint Hills Art exhibition and auction.
