Susan Larkin
Non-Conformist
2010
oil on canvas
12”x16"
Value: $400
Susan Larkin makes oil and pastel paintings from her home and studio in Isle La Motte, Vermont. Her subject is Lake Champlain and the land that defines this island community and her experience of it. Larkin’s paintings are the result of her dialogue with the natural world. As she goes about her life on the island—walking the dog or running errands—the beauty of the land and her mood come together in a visceral moment that she documents with a quick sketch or a photograph. In her studio, she recreates these moments; her goal is not accurate rendition, but to capture the veracity of the moment.
