ARTIST'S STATEMENT by Suzy Andron

Mom brought crayons and paper to keep me quiet during church services.  Today, it always pleases me to paint.  I exhilarate in the creative process; though sometimes I wonder “What am I going to do with this mess?”   I must create something new and beautiful each time.   Working with multiple canvases for a decade now, I produce only Polytychs.    I begin by combining canvases of different shapes and studying their composition.  I rotate, flip, cut holes, double up and/or add all kinds of textures IF it “works” in a vision for each piece.  Then I paint!  When a painting “tells me” what to do next, I proceed slowly to never overdo a piece.  Then we rest, and wait, and see... My Polytychs are best at the moment of completion; when they whisper “finished” to me.  Then they find patrons who will listen for the next whisper.
