These clay sculptures were done in a workshop setting, in Toronto artist Susan Low-Beer‘s studio.

My paintings are mostly inspired by landscape, though not always about specific time and place. I am interested in exploring colour and space, suggesting both tension and harmony that exist in nature. Painting is my emotional response to my environment.
I started painting in watercolours and later discovered chalk pastels. I now paint mostly in oils. My oil painting technique is a reflection of my early days doing watercolour paintings – I work in thin diluted layers. Also, I will often apply paint with cloth, which gives me a more direct contact with the canvas.
When I start a new piece, I have no preconceived idea of the end result – I react to each application of paint. The final piece is an emotional response to whole process of painting.
