The Art of Susan Dehlinger (Click on an image to expand it.)
Art has always resided in a special place close to my heart, but finding
the time to explore it was limited. Now as an empty nester, I can finally
exercise this life long passion "my way" with painting affordable oils on
canvas primarily in the forms of still life and landscapes. I love to play with
light and shadow in my work to highlight small, intimate details that might
otherwise go unnoticed by a casual observer. I am basically self-taught
and paint primarily in a traditional style. My excitement for a new project
is palpable from the very moment I decide my subject matter and plan my
color palette to the piece's natural conclusion. Subsequently I experience
an emotional mix of personal reward for the artwork's completion and a
sense of sadness for the same reason ... as if saying good bye after
such an intimate encounter is ever easy.
I exhibit my work in several prestigious art shows and charity events each
year, and I have an extensive online presence as well. I am a proud
member of the juried Worldwide Women Artists Online organization and I
am listed with the Artists Registry.

A Note from Susan :
If my style appeals to you, but the size, color palette, or subject matter
does not, please contact me at desooze@aol.com to discuss
commissioning a piece painted to your specifications.
