Art by Susan Ashbrook
Susan Ashbrook lives in Ottawa, Canada and paints in acrylics and soft pastels. She enjoys painting ordinary subjects with a slight twist to the normal view as well as portraying people, and animal companions.
I work mainly with acrylics in an ultra-realism style, applying layers of colour that take advantage of the transparency of the medium. By manipulating light, shadow and aerial perspective I seek to create a presence, with a feeling of isolation.... "I’m here, is there anybody out there?"
While Susan does not claim to be famous, and certainly not wealthy, she is pleased to admit to having work in collections throughout Canada, the USA and Europe.
