Paintings with Sounds

Susan merges her passion for travel plein air painting with an exploration of onomatopoeia, transforming sound into a visual language. By incorporating words that represent sounds, she expands the experience of hearing and listening into a readable visual effect. Her paintings invite viewers to engage their inner (or outer) voice, adding their own sound interpretations to the work. She suggests a reset begins with attentive listening that you can read. This is an invitation to reconnect with the world through the language of sound—English as a second language.
