Susan Wehrman
Susan didn’t set out to become an artist, but her passion for art began early on; in elementary school tempra paints, construction paper and ordinary glue represented a vision to be fulfilled. While other children longed for toys, her greatest excitement came from visits to the local hobby shop for paint-by-number kits. She would spend many marathon weekends working on these cardboard canvases. Today, she specializes in pet and nature portraits; her artwork represents the special bond we share with the animals that have etched special places in our hearts. However diverse we may be, this love for our animals is universal and transcends all languages and borders. Her mission is to create realism and evoke emotion – beyond two-dimensional photographs – she wants to portray the spirit and essence of her subjects. By the time a piece is complete, having sculpted every curve of their faces and every nuance of their expression, she has come to know them intimately; and they have etched their place in her heart.
