GALLERY - LIFE UNFOLDED

“Life Unfolded” is about capturing the purity of a moment. Susan Typert unleashes the power of pastels to freeze-frame daily life to uncover the remarkable and the profound. Detail gives way to passion and energy as blossoms, boxers and brew masters take the stage. Here is a colourist's take on landscape, portraiture, nature and floral work. Much of the work is derived from local scenes and establishments throughout Uxbridge, Wellington, Port Hope, Port Perry and Kingston.
