Susan Kauffmann is a visual artist living in Northern Nevada. Her art has been shown in various galleries and juried exhibitions, and can be found in collections in both the United States and Canada. This blog starts off with some of the pieces in her "Geoganics" series, which grew out of a desire to make engaging wall art by combining geometric and organic shapes to move beyond the traditional four-sided frame. Once described as "Kandinsky gone 3-D", each piece strives to convey movement through a static medium. The pieces in this collection are made mostly of Baltic birch plywood, with some having accents of metal plate (copper or brass) or foil. The paints used are generally either opaque acrylics or translucent oils, the latter employed to allow the grain of the wood to show through. Susan is now looking into making some new pieces out of aluminum -- stay tuned!"
