IEA Member Artist Profile

Susan J. Thompson

Thompson is an abstract artist who works primarily with encaustic painting and mixed media collage. Susan’s paintings, rich with texture and color, are developed with layers of encaustic and oil paint, scraping, collage and fine linear elements both incised and drawn. The result is a meditative yet, dynamic energy, balanced with patience and intent. She currently resides in Louisville, CO.

ARTIST STATEMENT

My recent body of work has evolved from the synthesis of two major influences in my life: the creation of art and the practice of T’ai Chi Ch’uan. In the study of these two disciplines, I’ve attempted to examine a shared concept of dynamic energy, balanced with patience and intent. The focus of my exploration is this and other seemingly opposing dynamics. The meditative process used to develop these paintings illustrates a concept of energy achieved through serenity.
