Susan E. Eck was born and raised in Toronto, Canada. She moved to Muskoka in order to immerse herself in her artwork. She is predominantly a self-taught artist who successfully completed professional development art classes at The Ontario College of Art and Design, in Toronto.

In her latest collection of artwork, entitled" Reflections", Susan shares her sensitive interpretation in "being present"- with nature and spirituality by capturing the spirit of light, and balance. Certainly, her colours are otherworldly and her portrayal of the natural world takes the viewer beyond a simple mirrored reflection of nature. Her paintings are emotionally charged with intensity akin to the work of Van Gogh; she plays with light and colour saturation boldly and creatively. Her paintings seek human emotion in nature, and reflect it back to the viewer-an especially extraordinary and powerful enterprise. With passion and simplicity she captures nature’s beauty in landscapes and seascapes.

Susan uses a rich colours and texture in her artwork. Combining palette knife and brush strokes, using oil, mix media and simple themes, she aims to evoke a strong emotional message in her paintings. The mood is superbly conveyed and original.

The poet in Susan gives her work its thoughtful mood as she explores her innermost desire to protect our natural environment, the simplicity of life or the feeling of freedom.
