Susan Stark - Fine Artist
Over the years I have found myself painting in response to an increasing desire for still life and placid rural scenery. What caught and held my attention are the flowers of Manet and the landscapes of the English Romantics Constable and Turner, asserting the importance of the individual and unique, and devotion to beauty.
Born in New Zealand, Susan Stark grew up in a home where artistic creativity and business were both encouraged. After the adventures of overseas travels (the big overseas experience or OE as they say in NZ), she settled in the United States with her husband Brent, their two children, and a corporate career. With their children now grown and a desire to be more passionate in pursuing her dreams in her own way, her attention has turned to oil painting and exhibiting the outdoor fine art shows held around the country.
Susan's home and studios are situated in the beautiful Pennsylvania woodlands with a second studio on the tranquil Eastern Shore of Virginia.
Each month I send out via email a painting with a bit of commentary called "Painting of the Month". If you wish to receive this, please email me at susanstarkfineart@gmail.com or contact me in the form below and you will be added to my list (it's free).
