Susan Maakestad

Susan Maakestad {she/her)
Susan Maakestad is a Memphis-based painter who marries 19th century landscape painting and modern traffic camera imagery with the sense of awe and wonder she experiences in nature. While her abstract landscapes are empty of human presence, they are filled with light, atmosphere and expressive bands of color. The tension between abstraction and illusionism in her work generates something familiar and yet unknown, of this world and yet also otherworldly.
