Susan Kubes

Southerner, painter, poet, photographer, wife, mother, grandmother, barefoot beach walker, grower of orchids, lover of music and all things beautiful –and pursuer of creativity. There is no order in this list, it all overlaps and intertwines, as in life.
My art is as flowing and changing as my life. I am largely self taught, and yet recently taught in various ways by generous friends and artists I have been fortunate to know.
For over 40 years a painter of realism, I have recently added various experimental techniques to my painting, allowing me to paint faster and freer, capturing the joy of the moment in more impressionistic or abstract images
My inspiration comes from everywhere, mostly my natural and so beautiful surroundings here in Florida, but also, from my world travels, from the endless array of extraordinary people and scenes I've encountered along the way. And sometimes from dreams; the Technicolor kind that wake me up in the night to search for my sketchbook!
I consider these a gift, and wake to give thanks to the Giver.
Meanwhile, I paint on, enjoying the sheer exhilaration of creating art!
