Susan Hanna will be our guest speaker for December.
Ms. Hanna will be presenting her time-tested ideas for presenting art professionally at both indoor and outdoor events. She will “break it down” into five focus areas including the First Impression, the Artist, the Display, the Tent, and the Business End. The presentation will be followed by a question and answer session for as long as time allows.

Susan E. Hanna is a full-time artist whose joy derives from recreating, and hopefully sharing, the pleasure she feels when she sees light glowing through the leaves, across the sky or skittering along wave tops and eddies. Susan want others to also feel a little breathless at the way a current leads to the coastline, which echoes the cliff line high above where branches gracefully keep the mind’s eye moving. She also signs her work SEH
Susan’s recent work explores larger canvasses as well as small metal panels. “Outdoors, I paint fast and loose while still indicating great detail. In the studio, I love painting large with big brushes and a lot of glazing. I choose to work in oil because it appears to be alive in the way that the colors continue to blend and change as they dry. There’s something about making that first large “swoop” of paint and then becoming lost in the medium until the image may be called complete.”
