A contemporary Muskoka artist, Susanne Nicholl works in oil, acrylic and mixed media, creating large-scale paintings of rugged Canadian landscapes, portraiture, and colourful depictions of wildlife. The brush strokes of bear fur, or the complex patterns of a loon’s feathers, in hues we don’t typically associate with nature, give a depth to her art that isn’t purely realistic but shows a dynamic way of seeing the simple beauty that surrounds us year-round.
