Suzanne Jacquot (suzannejacquot)

Abstract painter/mentor

I have been an artist creating things since I was a kid. I introduced dioramas to my elementary school as a way to talk about books. I have always been curious, and love most anything to do with the natural world. I currently live and work in Sonoma County, Ca., where my studio is in a field adjacent to a vineyard. It is beautiful and inspirational to me.

Artist Statement:
I find that there is a vastness of creativity that wants to be expressed through me, and as I find my way and my own inner visual language, I make marks, and I paint. It is my personal life’s journey to delve into my own direct experience and in doing so, I find what is common to all of us: we are immersed in relationships and communication with each other and the world around us.

I love the accidental, the unintended, the magical. So, when I am in my art studio, I am exploring, delving, excavating, being open and allowing whatever might want to arise from within and whatever might excite me from without. I am exploring the paints, the marks, my tools authentically and often not knowing where it will lead me…..
