Biography

Susie Pryor's objective is to give life and emotion to subject matter that is visually gripping, emotive and exciting. The inherent stimulation found only from experimentation and discovery keeps Susie Pryor challenged to explore the endless possibilities of painting. Susie Pryor begins with a dialog of light and shadow followed by the incorporation of opaque textures and transparent layers. Subject matter is secondary to the visual elements of form, color, paint quality, and edges. However, the completely uninhibited way that children approach each moment often sparks the fire that drives Ms. Pryor to paint.

Each painting involves an exciting struggle between abstraction and reality. As with life… simplification enhances the view. Studies with the late Ouida Canady in the early 1990’s and a recent workshop experience with Wolf Kahn have greatly influenced Susie Pryor's work. Susie Pryor studied classical drawing and art history at the University of Georgia.
