My autobiographical landscape paintings examine place through the use of cartography, architecture, and chance. In the work, I explore boundaries of representation and abstraction. I omit the ground, allowing a place to float mid-air. To contemplate a location, I merge experiential properties with physical borders. The experiential aspects enter the work through pockets of abstraction that weave over, behind, and through representational matter. Finally, the work finds itself on the boarder between place and non-place.

Suzanne Anan is an American artist who creates figurative compositions primarily reflecting women as her subject. She creates in all mediums, but prefers the unpredictable results that painting serves to project the humility and vulnerability created with every stroke of oil onto canvas. Her work Woman In Blue, appears to be trapped in her own body. Her eyes appear to be looking upward. Has she acquiesced, or is it pride? These evocative images resonate moods and memories and question what it means to feel human.
