day of the dead

Susan Peters, March First Friday

Susan Peters is an emerging NC artist you don't want to miss.  Her portrait of the human experience is both enlightening and liberating, a story of success and failure, of love and loss.  While her subject matter, like a mood, is various, her ability to capture your breath is consistent and encourages a appreciation of the life we are given.  www.AcrylicArtistryNC.com

Susan Peters Artist Biography:

I am originally from Woodstock, New York and have always been creating something. From the early years of finger-painting on rocks in the creek bed behind my grandmother’s house to present. After a long hiatus from painting, I have returned to it originally as a cold weather hobby, but after creating the first acrylic painting, I was immediately hooked. I started looking at everything around me in detail, noticing colors, shapes, light, and shadows.

I enjoy using bright colors in my work, and enjoy painting a variety of subject matter, as well as using varied techniques. Depending on my mood, I can go from painting flowers and animals, to abstract figures, flow art, and resin.

I consider myself to be an emerging artist, as I am just starting to display my work. To date, I have displayed my art throughout North Carolina. I currently have a painting in the Cameron Art Museum in Wilmington, North Carolina for the “State of the Art: Art of the State” show. I also display artwork with Local Color Gallery located inside 311 Gallery in Raleigh. I am a member of the Fine Arts League of Cary, Visual Art Exchange, and the Durham Artists Guild. I have work in private collections in North Carolina, Tennessee, New York, Massachusetts, Alabama, and California.  

In addition, I have had artwork published in the online literary magazine, The Charles Carter.

I also enjoy practicing hot yoga, riding my Tennessee Walking Horses, and traveling with my family.
