Susan Kelly is a self-taught painter from Guelph. Says Kelly, “I find the colours of the environment, the flora, the landscapes, and seascapes energizing whether it be spring’s blooms, the soft hues of a misty day, or the intensity of colour on the land as the sun goes down in the late fall.” She uses landscape and colour to stimulate the senses, and generally evoke memory and emotion with a goal to offer hope and renewal and uplift to the art viewer.
