Susan Westmoreland "I create original oil paintings and I find inspiration for my art from everyday life and nature. I wish to evoke an emotion and often share a glimpse or memory from my travels". I continue to build on my years of art study, working with many renowned artists such as Alice Williams, Gary Bodner and Jim Richards. I enjoy not only honing my abilities but thrive on the comradely of painting alongside other artists while also learning and being inspired by each other. My art has been accepted in national and local juried art shows and won several awards. It is my desire to translate the heart and soul of the places I have visited and people I meet on the canvas in a way that brings joy to the viewer".
