Internationally acclaimed New Zealand artist Susan Harrison-Tustain's highly sought after work will take you on an artistic
journey.
Her passion for painting and for natural beauty and
light allows the viewers of her work to feel part of the world
she has captured. A world so life-like you can 'smell' the
perfume of the roses, see the light as it glistens through a dew-drop or feel the nostalgic atmosphere she has created in her
still-life studies of much-loved, time-worn objet d'art.
Her best
selling book "Glorious Garden Flowers in Watercolor" (North Light
Books, Cincinnati Ohio) has showcased her art to the world, and her newly released DVD's show YOU how to paint exquisite watercolors of your own.
Susan's Story: Painting and drawing since childhood, Susan decided after an extensive trip to Europe and its national
galleries to take her work to a professional level.
Her exhibitions now sell-out soon after the doors open. Queues
for the exhibitions start to form several hours before opening
time and continue throughout the duration of the show.
Susan's work has been on several prestigious magazine covers and
within the pages of many publications. She has featured twice on
television and has written a book about her paintings and style:
"Glorious Garden Flowers In Watercolor". You will also find her work in "Splash 6", "Splash 7" and "Splash 8" (North
Light Books).
"Glorious Garden Flowers in Watercolor"
is a best selling book
of its type in the U.S.A, Australia, New Zealand and it is now
released in the U.K., Europe and China. |
The demand for Susan's work far outweighs her output. With this

Giclees of her latest paintings.

You'll find Susan's work represented in collections in the U.S.A,
Britain, France, Italy, Turkey, Australia and New Zealand. She
tutors workshops in New Zealand and USA which are in great demand and are
attended by artists from all over the world.
Passionate about a variety of subjects, Susan particularly loves
to paint child studies, character studies, nudes, still-life,
birds and of course flowers. Painting intuitively, she has a
natural affinity for watercolor and an innate ability to captivate
the viewers of her work. "I love to see people responding to my
work and to hear the viewers of my paintings say they can smell
the roses or feel as if they could reach into the painting and
touch the aged leatherbound books as they emerge from the shadows
into flickering candlelight". Her paintings capture the very
'essence' of her subject and the viewers find themselves lost in
the world she has created.
Susan lives in the beautiful, clean, green New Zealand
countryside overlooking the picturesque coastal, port towns of Tauranga and Mount Maunganui.
Susan invites you to take a journey through the pages of her
website. She likes to think of art as 'timeless' and trusts that,
through her paintings, you will also feel the 'passion' and
revelation she felt when the inspiration for each of her
paintings was born.
