Susan Larson is an award-winning Colorado watercolor artist who captures the visual qualities of a subject in vibrant color in her work. She paints landscapes, aspen, animals, horses, birds, flowers, and people. Her subjects are created from her own photography. Susan prefers watercolor and gouache, but enjoys mixing pastels and ink into her paintings. She won awards for pencil and pen & ink drawings, and now "draws" with a brush in color.
What attracts Susan to a subject is the display of light.
Susan's work has been selected for juried national, state, regional, and local shows by the Colorado Watercolor Society, Wyoming Watercolor Society, Colorado Springs Art Guild, Curtis Arts & Humanities Center in Greenwood Village, Business of Art Center in Manitou Springs, and Tri-Lakes Center for the Arts in Palmer Lake. Her paintings have shown in Denver at the Colorado History Museum, Botanic Gardens, Curtis Center, and Co-Art Gallery in the Santa Fe Arts District; in Colorado Springs at the Pikes Peak Center, Colorado Springs Airport, and Tri-Lakes Center for the Arts; in Evergreen at the Evergreen Arts Center; and in Sheridan, Wyoming, at the Davis and SAGE Galleries.
