About this artwork
Chromatic Ascension is a luminous, upward‑moving work that captures the sensation of hope rising through pressure. Part of Susan’s acclaimed Tectonic Hues series, the painting transforms geological motion into emotional momentum, using color as a force of uplift.
Radiant strokes burst outward from a central axis, creating a dynamic sense of acceleration. Warm strata of red, gold, and ember tones generate a powerful tectonic thrust, while pockets… of vivid blue break through the surface like moments of clarity — small but insistent signals of renewal. These blue elements act as the emotional anchor of the piece, offering a quiet but unmistakable sense of hope.
The work shifts beautifully depending on viewing distance: afar, it reads as a single chromatic surge; mid‑range, the tectonic structure becomes visible; up close, micro‑textures reveal an intimate, effervescent architecture. This layered experience gives the painting a living quality — it changes as the viewer moves.
Susan is a California based artist whose work is driven by an unrestrained devotion to color, as energy, emotion, and language. Her paintings pulse with vibrant palettes of pinks, oranges, reds, aquas, and luminous whites, forming expressive abstractions that feel both exuberant and deeply personal.
She builds her compositions without brushes, instead using found objects in rhythmic mark‑making, circular, and sculptural textures that blur the boundary between spontaneity and intention. Her surfaces carry a sense of movement — gestures that feel alive.
Living with chronic nerve pain, Susan paints in a reclined position, close to the page, letting intuition guide the rhythm of each mark. This proximity creates raw, instinctive gestures that are emotionally honest. What might be seen as a limitation becomes her signature: a method that brings vulnerability and immediacy. Her art balances strength and softness, structure and openness — a duality that mirrors her own lived experience.
