A Look Inwards

Susan Cantwell

She/her

I am a painter working in oils and acrylics on canvas, and pastel and ink on paper. My artistic focus is on the human form. In a world of mixed messages around the subject of the body, I have found it liberating to express my own personal views through drawing and painting, and through the development of my creative process. This, together with motherhood has led me to explore how society views the female form in particular.
In addition to the investigation of forms and perceptions in figurative painting, I am drawn to portraiture and the intense connection between subject and viewer which can be enabled by the artist.
