SUZANNE HODES
DIRECTOR'S STATEMENT
Suzanne's paintings are the result of a thoughtful, yet always spirited, mind and hand at work. Her unmistakable brush work and gestures are filled with enthusiasm and life. A seemingly perfect squiggle here and there conveys her sense of excitement, confidence and affection toward her work. She is the only painter I've represented who works brilliantly in all sizes and in many fine art mediums, including oil, watercolor, pastel, monotypes and dry point. Suzanne's highly developed artistic vision is evident in her paintings: Reflected and refracted light, rhythmic compositions, and her signature palette of blues and purples with always a dab of cadmium orange for the high notes! As if to say, "I've been here".
