Welcome to my web page.

My current series "Tessellations" is now being featured. Presently, I am intrigued with the problem-solving aspect when using space based on a grid pattern of squares and triangles. Some Tessellations are more surface oriented, while others deconstruct to give more movement, push/pull, and depth of field.

I am working with the influence of transparent colors over each other and the relationship of colors and their varying intensities. Some of the themes that I am exploring are: integration, interrelationships, order-chaos-reorder, and when an orderly configuration is interrupted by an event, how the elements in the space reconfigure.

My past series: Deep Shade Gardens, Aerial Landscapes, and several one-of-a-kind paintings (large and small) are on display in my studio here at 719 P. St. #9, Lincoln, NE, 68508. Call 402-474-4080 ~ or ~ contact me by email: susanjbrasch@gmail.com.

Commissions
Corporate and Private
 

What is meaningful art?

What does art mean to those who view it daily and can appreciate that it represents them in some manner? In the space below are some examples of commissions that I have done for private homes and corporate offices. As you can see, meaning can be portrayed in abstract manner using color and shapes or in a realistic manner.

When working with individual and corporate commissions, there is an initial survey of what is important to the client and how that can be depicted in the painting. Often times, such as the Nelnet commission, the imagery is based on their vision and mission statements.

The initial survey process helps to inform the commission and give some ownership to the client and direction to the project.

Below are some projects that depict this intention of meaning.
