Suzanne Vaughan, Soft Light - Earth Nature Abstract, Painting, Acrylic on Canvas
Suzanne Vaughan

Suzanne Vaughan

United States  • 1964

Artist Statement:

I am a professional full time artist living in Portland, Oregon. My art is an expression of color, light and positive energy, from my vibrant modern color field abstracts to my minimal atmospheric landscapes. They capture the fresh vitality of nature's essence infused with uplifting energy to convey feelings of hope and optimism.
Growing up in New Zealand I absorbed the vibrancy of nature, amplified by the intense Southern light and dramatic weather patterns. In 2004 I began painting landscapes and abstracts in acrylics and quickly realized that it was the perfect conduit for my creative desire. It rekindled an early memory of wanting to create large vibrant paintings, and paint, just like my grandma had done when I was a child.

After relocating to America in 2008 I embraced the shift to oil painting and began creating larger abstract works that radiate positive energy and vibrancy. I also returned to landscapes and more recently abstract landscapes, that abstract the shapes and forms of the natural world combined with the vibrant colors I love so much.

Each unique painting has a modern minimal aesthetic in a wide array of energetic color palettes to add some fresh energy and vitality to any space.

Education:

I have always been a highly driven and passionate creative showing an aptitude for the arts from a very young age. I'm largely a self taught artist although many people have inspired me creatively throughout my life. My painting career started in New Zealand in 2004 after some art classes and studio time with Shruti Yatri and Gillian Palmer. In the United States I spent time in various Portland studios including an artist residency in the AIR Gallery. I continue to work full time in my studio developing my unique painting techniques and style in acrylics and oils, landscapes and abstracts.

Professional/Teaching Experience:

My work is found in private and corporate collections around the world including the United States, Europe, Asia, Australasia and the UK. I am currently represented by Art Elements Gallery in Newberg, Oregon and Caplan Art Designs in Portland, Oregon.

Artistic Influences:

Many New Zealand artists have inspired me and had some kind of influence on my art. There are too many to mention, but a few of my favorites are Gretchen Albrecht, Rita Angus, Michael Smither, and Cristina Popovici. I also became very interested in the art of Henri Rousseau, Wassily Kandinsky, Picasso and Frida Kahlo. After moving to the United States my influences shifted more towards the New York school of American Abstract Expressionist painters such as Jackson Pollock and Mark Rothko in addition to Gerhard Richter and Brian Rutenberg.
