“As a documenter and cultural worker, I’ve always been driven by a desire to capture the essence of human experience. Through my work, I aim to create immersive narratives that inspire reflection, empathy, and understanding. Whether it’s through art, storytelling, or documentation, my goal is to make a meaningful impact on the world around me.“

Susan finds working with watercolor challenging and demanding concentration. It requires careful planning, and mistakes are often inevitable, necessitating starting over. Like other mediums, watercolorists must step back and build strokes gradually, learning and re-learning more about the medium each time. However, unlike other mediums, a watercolor is always unique and cannot be replicated or experienced the same way twice.
