SUSAN R. MAKIN FINE ART, AND MORE

Happy, whimsical, colorful artwork and positive and powerful strategies and anecdotes reveal Susan’s passion and penchant for causing smiles. Brush on canvas, fingers on keys, or words for sharing, she strives to prompt and promote the best in people, objects, places, and abstraction. Her desire: clear, powerful, and purposeful expressions and associations that help boost confidence and connection. A PhD arts therapist/personal coach and author/educator (DocSusan), as well as fine artist, she proves how what surrounds on our walls matters: can motivate and inspire. Viewer, reader, learner, or buyer, Susan is excited and delighted to conjure up treasures and remedies for all!

For the Portrait Society of Canada’s 2010 show, scheduled to coincide with Vancouver’s Olympic Winter Games' festivities, Nathalie Lambert, Chef de Mission of the Canadian team, graciously agreed to be Susan’s portrait subject—and loves the resulting diptych!

His triptych, together with Nathalie’s diptych, will be displayed and available for purchase at the fundraising show, Canadian Olympic Athletes: A Dialogue in Art. Opening night reception: Thursday March 4, 2010, 6pm - 8pm. All welcome!
