I want the art and I want it to be engaging.
It's a relationship, so I invite inspiration to move
through me and lead me to allow it to give
birth to itself.

I use paint, steel, glass or resin.

Stillness is recorded.
Stillness is not sleepy,
it is aware, juicy, awake!

In her works, Susan Q. Brown has the rare ability to infuse the political with the personal so effectively that one feels as is they've become an honorary partner in a unique relationship of two, as well as a member of a lively, intelligent community of countless others, from ancient to postmodern, all reaching beyond themselves toward some intricately imagined bright future-- which is also, of course, right now. Her innate humor, intelligence and sheer affection for all sentient beings warms and inspires us and reminds us of the essential potency of imagination and the transformational possibilities of creativity, a power which truly belongs at the center of each of our lives at all times.
