Susan Leskin
Artist Statement:
I enjoy creating ambiguity in my work, both in imagery and mood. Pieces are often dreamlike, objects or figures partially hidden or revealed, often elusive. I'm inspired by natural and urban landscapes, and by interiors. My most recent work employs high flow acrylics, old papers, pencil, and mica.
