About Susan Hollingshead

Paintings & Photography by Susan Hollingshead

"My paintings are my Interpretation of my photographs which are my Interpretation of what I see!"

As a small child, Susan's passion for art was evident from the pictures she drew, the clothes she designed for her dolls and the stories she made up. As a teenager her creativity was channeled into water colours and pen and ink drawings. However as a young adult, motherhood became her main focus and it wasn't until she reached her early 50's that she once again explored her talent.

Now, under the tutelage of Anita Nairne, Susan has once again confronted her passion and is creating her paintings which come from her photographs.

Her photography comes from "dropping out" of the working world for four years and traveling around North America, recording her journey with pictures and an online journal. In that time she has accumulated in excess of 27,000 photographs, most with the potential to become paintings.

"Rediscovering my talent at this age has given me the freedom to be a little reckless with how I paint and much to my surprise, most of what I create becomes something I am not just amazed by, but something I am proud of!" says Susan.

Her art is also displayed in Coquitlam and she can be reached by email or by phone at 778-847-3043
