“I am a painter. I paint sky. Observed changes in weather fronts, cloud formations, and shifts in light and color inform my work. I use photography and meteorological readings to record the days. Atmospheric conditions constantly change; countless, precise, invisible adjustments are ceaselessly processed, balanced, and realigned. These systems are vital and alive to me. In my work I attempt to capture a moment in time and record both the change and the changeless in this vast system.”

Suzan Scott, an artist and observer of the natural world, uses her creativity to make visual art the focus of her life. life.
