Sue is an Ontario born artist selling her work professionally as a landscape painter. Her work is very much dependant on "in the moment" reactions to the world around her, trying not to plan too far ahead, being open to serendipitous possibilities during the process. This parallels how Sue likes to look at life in general.
Most of Miller's inspiration for dramatic landscape comes from the east coast of Canada. Sue has a deep connection & admiration of the atmosphere & way of life that the Maritime provinces possess. For the last 4 years, most of her work has been focused on Newfoundland, a place that has captured her soul.
While still being struck by the beauty & drama of landscape, or starkness of architecture, Sue is exploring a new approach. Instead of literal translations, her paintings are becoming more of a retrospective of the collective landscapes in Sue's memory, creating works that leave the viewer with only essence & emotion of the scene.
"For me, art is a journey based on personal experience. It evolves as the artist evolves. Change is necessary in life & also in art."
"Authentic creation is very important. Without being trendy or contriving a gimmick, it is the only way that an artist can honestly express themselves. That way, achieving fulfillment is more likely & the art speaks to those who are truly interested in that authenticity."
"My creative process is inseparable from my life. It can be quite chaotic at times & anything but routine, but it is from that chaos, that the creative spirit is nurtured."
"One must have chaos present in life to give birth to a dancing star" – Neitchze
