« Through my art, I find sanity, joy, and calmness. If my art can bring joy and happiness to any person, I see it as mission accomplished. »
Suzette Datema, a painter who resides in the United Kingdom, became an artist because of the feeling of excitement that color gives her, as well as the beauty of art and creation. She translates her naive style through compositions that are seaside themed and also paints portraits of women. Datema often covers the canvas with black paint before beginning a piece, as a white surface ‘can seem daunting’. She works using both oils and acrylics.
