Susan Davies

“Dream • Play • Create” Is the brand Susan has chosen to define her creative process as an artist. Approaching every day with an open mind and an open heart, Susan gains inspiration from her sleeping and waking dreams and embraces their capacity to connect the physical and metaphysical realms. She believes that the process of creating art connects her with a larger energy and it is through her participation as a conduit for that energy that her art achieves authenticity. During the creative process, Susan is focused on cultivating a sense of play; playing with materials, throwing around new ideas, and engaging in lighthearted conversations with other creative thinkers.

My current work is focused on meditation, acceptance and gratitude. I have embraced the ensō, also known as a Zen circle to communicate the meditative process of focusing on one moment in time, accepting it and showing gratitude to the energy of that single moment. 

Susan received formal training in painting and drawing at Gustavus Adolphus College and Temple University’s Tyler School of Art in Rome, Italy. She presently lives in Buffalo, MN where she enjoys being an active flautist with a special interest in ancient Celtic melodies as well as being an active artist.

My work is currently available for private showings and purchase at Artactile Gallery, located in The Northrup King Building: 1500 Jackson St NE, Studio 166  Minneapolis, MN 55413
