Susan H. Jespersen
Color is my favorite thing in art and therefore the first
thing I notice in a painting. This might also explain my fascination with
plastic things such as kitchen and storage containers, many toys. Artist Susan H. Jespersen does use color in a
colorful way in her painting. Eight of
which are now on display in the upstairs gallery at the public library, three
are abstracts and four are landscapes, representing scenes in the eastern
United States and one is a still live. All
are so beautifully executed, that I feel inadequate in describing them but I
can highly recommend that you come to the library and see them for
yourself.
Susan’s self-described curiously and willingness to learn
new things are apparent in this particular exhibit. Already having earned and used several degrees
from a B. S. to a PhD, she is now enrolled in the fine arts degree program at
AppState. Those of you familiar with
pigments used by artists will recognize alizarin crimson. Interestingly enough she studied art at the
Alizarin Crimson work gallery in Stuart, FL beginning around 2007 and then
moved to Ashe County in 2010. She is a
fine addition to the community and the art scene in the county. Her paintings
are also on view a Frenchy’s Fine Art in
West Jefferson and online at www.susanjespersen.com.
