Description

Join us for an opening reception in the Stone Tower Studio/Stone Tower Gallery 2. Artist Susan O'Neill presents Arabesque: The Rhythm of Seeing. "My work is less about the figure and more about the rhythm that gives the figure life.” - Susan O'Neill

The dance of light and the rhythms of the human figure are the enduring inspiration for my work. Painting and drawing from life, I seek to capture those fleeting moments when light, movement, and form briefly align.

My work is an interpretation rather than a description, balancing careful observation with spontaneity. Through expressive line, luminous color, and the active presence of the white paper, I search for the essential rhythms that give a subject its life. By simplifying, selecting, and allowing the materials to speak, I hope to create work that invites viewers to pause, look deeply, and experience the beauty and vitality of a moment that might otherwise pass unnoticed.
