Sue Martin

Sue is an accomplished award-winning artist working in multimedia, oils and watercolors who lives in the greater Salt Lake City area.  She says, “I’m an odd kind of plein air painter. I love the fresh air and being immersed in nature, soaking up inspiration. But I’d rather paint what I feel instead of what I see.

My work tends to express the heat of the day in color, the chaos of nature in texture, and the landform shapes in the simplified juxtaposition of land shapes and sky shapes. I paint with oil and cold wax medium, using credit cards and bowl scrapers rather than brushes. This prevents me from getting too realistic and keeps my focus long and open to all possible feelings.”
