When it gets ice cold in Canberra I think of Penguins in the Antarctica for the ACT can and does go below zero temperatures in winter. I painted our local Penguins that were quiet happy in the cold here swimming in their pond. What I really liked creating in this artwork was the subtle shading differences between the penguins and the reflections in the water, different to the smart black and white images these "suited" birds normally have. This artwork is framed and will help cool any hot room down in summer for the mind sees at a glance what it wants to believe, a trick neuroscience study has taught me with extreme temperatures. The opposite is also true so watch out for Currawongs and autumn leaves to warm your space up in winter!

Susan was born in Rhodesia, educated in South Africa at Groote Schuur Hospital where she worked for 20 years and now lives in Australia. Having rewritten her medical exams with Distinction in 2011 in Australia she was saddened when the cervical cancer Pap screening was deemed not cost effective in 2017 in Australia and palliative hospitals were built instead. It was then that she followed her second dream which had started in High School with the final art prize in 1985 and started her own art practice in Canberra. Susan is absolutely loving the art world now for she has discovered Art is the universal language that heals and connects people in this world. Susan still believes that prevention of cancer and early diagnosis is a worthwhile cause and is glad she was able to help others and glad that the Australian radiologists were spared the cost cuts of 2017 so they were able to help her live as well but she now welcomes you to share her journey forward in the Arts.
