Suzanne Budd / Selected Artwork / Statement / Biography 

Suzanne Budd Artist Statement


My journey as an artist is one of discovery as I build an abstract painting
layer upon layer.  I begin by making a mark or laying down a wash
of color and then in a very organic way respond moment to moment
as I engage in the process of paint application.  Addition and subtraction
are important in my work; by adding to or erasing areas I build the
new while allowing some history to remain.  My work reflects an
understanding and honoring of the impermanence of life.  Nothing stays
as it was.  Each painting evolves much as our lives do.  Having only a
vague idea of where I want to go I intuitively respond to the painting,
honoring its past while opening to the present.  Contrasts are important
in my work – contrasts of color, texture, light and dark, foreground and
background, complex detail against simple expanses of color, always
trying to bring discordant areas into balance and harmony.
