Frida's Garden of Inspiration

Frida's Garden of Inspiration is a 30 inches by 24 inches mixed media and collage on canvas art piece.

Artist: Susan Hurwitch

Born and raised in Miami, Florida, I gravitated toward color and texture from a very young age. Art became a vital means of expression and communication. Without understanding the power of art, I was cognizant that for me reimagining my world in a colorful and whimsical way brought me a deep sense of happiness and joy.

In the years since retiring to the vibrant art community of Sarasota, I have worked to hone my art skills with the guidance of fabulous mentors, all of whom have helped me find my path in mixed media with a process focused on combining collage with acrylic painting.

 Each piece is designed from conception to completion by an experimental process of color selection, while incorporating paper and mixed media materials to add a textural quality. Central to this process is the foundational layout utilizing my unique hand painted and printed papers before all of the selected elements are merged into a cohesive composition.

 I firmly believe that art can help us process the world around us and that color and thematic choices can impact mood and our sense of well-being. I strive to have the viewer accompany me on this journey of artistic exploration.
