Blooms
Susan Breen
Susan Breen’s flower paintings are further explorations of her fascination with the natural world, brought inside. They unapologetically embrace beauty in subject and execution, celebrate color and form, and approach the sublime through a stilled and lasting moment. As flowers in nature serve as a metaphor for human experience, these paintings are offered as a reminder and wish for us all to emerge from any darkness, endure the elements, reach for light, and if possible, bloom.
