Sue Darius - Artist Statement

I try to capture some of the drama of the natural world in my paintings; beautiful moments in the outdoors that, when painted, will last for a lifetime, inside, on someone’s walls.  I find that when I look at a well executed painting I am transported and uplifted.  That is what I want to do for the viewer – allow them to be transported, enchanted.  Some of my work is painted in a softer palette, not as dramatic as others, to persuade the mind to calm and be still in a peaceful place.
