Sue Coleman, Painter

Mount Vernon, Iowa

Sue Coleman views drawing as a way to slow down and take time to notice what the world has to offer. The process encourages her to seek out visual patterns and anomalies, subtlety, and drama, shifts in light that color the atmosphere, textures enlivening forms, revealing shifts in the wind, and other forces. Drawing reminds Sue to pay attention and notice the beauty and strangeness in the everyday.

“The capacity for delight is the gift of paying attention.” —Julia Cameron
