Susan White - AFCA

Susan has felt the need to create art in one form or another from childhood onwards.  When not drawing, she was exploring and observing the natural world around her in rural Manitoba.  Now residing on Vancouver Island, she is surrounded by and inspired by the beauty of the plants and animals of the area.  

She has chosen to work exclusively in soft pastels and is excited by the expressive potential of this luscious medium.  Pastels allow her to achieve colour layering and fine details in her realistic portraits of botanical subjects and wildlife.  

Susan is a signature member of the Federation of Canadian Artists (AFCA), and a member of Pastel Artists of Canada.  She is a member of the Tosh10 artist cooperative group, and a resident artist at The Old School House.
