Other influencers are Picasso, Calder, and Miro. Embracing outsider art, Susan's paintings have a naïve quality some have deemed visionary, schizophrenic, primitive, psychotic, obsessive, compulsive, untutored, vernacular, self-taught, brut, rough, raw, call them what you will. Stare at the one you like best for a few minutes and you start to see something staring back at you.
"INTUITIVE PASSION LAUNCHES AN INNER DISCOVERY". -IPLAID
After 15 months, and an incredible fight for his life having had Pancreatic Cancer, I lost my husband to Pancreatic Cancer. Now, I'm hoping to make a difference for all of the wonderful people who are currently fighting or have lost their battle with pancreatic cancer. This journey of creating art brought me through the devastating grieving and loss of my husband who was a wonderful man and deserved to enjoy his retirement, friends and family. Out of my pain and desire to help others came a program I call iPlaid which stands for Intuitive Passion Launches an Inner Discovery. Hence, my creations are what have happened since his death and during the last almost seven years now.
After I created iPlaid on the Ipad I just had to name it in memoriam to Steve Jobs, Peaceful Passion for my husband, Notes to Music for Luciano Pavarotti and several others. I then decided to create more for those who had also lost their lives to this disease. The first 12 images in my iPlaid gallery you will see are representative of those lost lives. Several I knew personally. Being an avid Apple fan, the iPlaid image just came to me out of the blue after dabbling on the ipad, so naming it for Steve Jobs was because I created a plaid on the iPad, hence calling it iPlaid...
What does it mean? The red color signals the sense of energy, the blue line for blue sky at the end of the tunnel, the yellow dots are the watch-full eyes looking for a cure and the surrounding bright green-yellow is the call to action in neon lights... I am asking for your help in this most unusual way to make a difference. Researchers must be funded to find a cure for Pancreatic Cancer.
10% of all of proceeds for my art will go to researchers close to a cure. So far I have raised over 160K. I can't thank you enough for all for your support!
Through loss there can be gain. I have learned through enduring many long days and great memories of a wonderful man, my soulmate, Dan Mears. He told me to keep on keepin' on. I am proud to say I have and all that is going on with me are ways to help find a cure through art and help fund researchers. With your help, we can all make a difference so I thank you for your support...
I was in Zurich looking at art and noticed a gallery that used metal as the platform for placing beautiful pictures. It was at that moment I decided to make sure if I continued to pursue art, I would produce images on Metal. Wow! The special finish is a game changer in how they turn out. I hope you try a piece to see what I mean. Thanks for sharing this journey with me.
I have been blessed with a wonderful career life in San Diego, where I reside, in the Marketing of Promotional Products for over 35 years. Yes, it is hard to believe. Since the loss of my husband, my endeavors have shifted from retirement to making a difference by creating images that can make people happy and honor those who have lost the fight to pancreatic cancer.
