"I love the magic of flowers! The way that they can stir up an old memory, evoke happy feelings and entice the senses.
I love the thrill of having the license to combine any flowers, which do not bloom at the same time of year, but work so well together. The freedom to design and create a wondrous garden growing in chaotic wild abandon or as seen in nature".
Sussanne Morton.
Sussanne's floral works are astonishingly vivid and alive, enticingly beautiful and dramatic, the bold rendering of the floral form still preserves the delicate nature of every petal.
There is a wonderful interaction between the play of light on shapes and forms, the combination and harmony of colours and textures occurring in nature. The compositions are bold and direct, risk - taking and adventurous. The colours are vigorous and rich and applied with conviction.
Sussanne's flower paintings are the kind of imagery which makes you glad to wake up in the morning and catch your first glimpse of them and rejoice that they are in your possession and adorn your house.
They radiate optimism, confidence and joy. Sussanne believes that flowers both in the ground or on the wall, are an essential ingredient of happiness.
