“My love for oil painting incorporates my love for color, light, landscape, and the oil paints themselves. Each painting is an original composition of unique western vistas, places I have been to, and return to, again and again." Susan Slomski Fine Art
Susan Slomski
A resident of Colorado, Susan began studying oil painting in high school in Massachusetts. Her first large scale still-life won The Golden Key Award from the Boston Globe. A portfolio review of her work won the Blue Ribbon from the Massachusetts College of Art. Susan went on to study Fine Art, majoring in Fine Art and oil painting at Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs, NY. There she studied with artists Jeff Elgin and Pat Cauley and minored in Art History. In the late 90’s Susan returned to Worcester, MA for a brief period and studied with professional artist and Master Color Theorist Bill Griffiths at the Worcester Art Museum. Her work with Bill Griffiths strengthened her love for color and color theory which she employs in every piece.
In 1990 Susan moved to New Mexico following her Graduate Degree from Lesley College to be close to the landscape that inspires her. In 1999 her work took her to Colorado where the light and landscape continue to shape her paintings. In Colorado, Susan studied at the Denver Artists League and with professional artists Kevin Wechenback, Rick Brogan and Cliff Austen as she continues to develop her personal style, use of color theory and bold composition choices. Susan is a member of the Heritage Fine Arts Guild and a former juried member of the Littleton Artist Guild, both in Littleton, Colorado, where she exhibits work locally. In addition, her work has been exhibited in Wyoming and New Mexico and is in collections in Colorado, Massachusetts and New Mexico. She is finds inspiration from the works of T. Allen Lawson.
