Susan Koch

A place of familiarity–a feeling of being home

Art has always been my passion. I have to do it; it’s too much a part of me. I’ve tried to quit and I couldn’t do it. I finally realized, I’ll never retire, because I’ll always be painting.

Over the past thirty five years my paintings have won many awards, including “Best of Show” and “Peoples’ Choice” several years running in the Watercolor Society of Oregon annual shows. I now devote my energies and attention to painting what I find meaningful, something that speaks to me. Usually it is the light that captures the scene for me. I try to convey to the viewer a place of familiarity or belonging, a feeling of “being home”.

Dee Anderson

Nearly everyone I know has tried to paint with watercolor at least once.  Most say “It’s too difficult.” I find that watercolor is willful, stubborn, gorgeous and determined to find it’s own way.  Just like all of us!  I welcome the challenge of watercolor.  It continues to bring me frustration, beauty and most of all…joy!

If you opt to take one of my paintings into your life, it is my hope that it gives you a lifetime of solid companionship.  Art transcends relationships, troubles and time!  Art is always there for you!
