Sussanne Morton was born 1963 in Denmark, and immigrated with her family to Australia in 1969.
During her early childhood years in Australia, the family moved often. An unsettling time, Sussanne found beauty and solace in nature. At the age of ten, her family finally settling in the beautiful border ranges of QLD and NSW, her natural artistic talent began to flourish.
Since 1995 Sussanne has been exhibiting her work through mixed exhibitions, in galleries and venues on the Sunshine Coast, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Singapore.
Sussanne’s larger than life paintings are an expression of her love for nature’s unique designs. A magnified bloom, in a captured moment, the play of light and shadow, an important factor in her work. A single flower, or a mixture of blooms, her focus always a realistic representation of her subject.
Painting in oils, Sussanne works in a traditional layering and blending process to create realistic silky, delicate petals, whilst shadows and depth are attained through shadows, highlights and rich glazes.
Her fascination with the play of sunlight and shadow is seen in the dance of contrasts and tones or reflected colour, creating the magic that brings her paintings to life.
