Susan Harvard began painting abstract impressionism after being awestruck by the powerful beauty she encountered on a trip to the American West. Having no formal training in art, nor a lifelong calling to make art, Susan recalls the moment when she did finally hear the call to create, and now there is no going back. Light and colorful, approachable and beautiful, her paintings seem a reflection of her own inner glow and uplifting view of life. Now busy with commissioned works Susan takes a moment with us to reflect on how she found the artist inside herself and where that discovery is taking her.
