Shuk Susan Lee

Shuk Susan Lee is a pastel artist based in Newton, MA, USA. Inspired by her love of travel, legends, mythology, dances, and songs, Susan has developed series portraying figures in a variety of urban, natural, and occasionally surrealistic settings. This year, Susan has been exploring watercolor in combination with pastel in her Figures in Action series, taking advantage of the strengths of both media. The transparency and fluidity of watercolor capture rhythm, atmosphere, and motion, while the opacity of pastel adds strength, clarity, and expressive definition to the figures. Susan’s goal is to engage the viewer through personal storytelling, as she believes that art must go beyond technique to touch the heart.
