About Susan
Pen & Ink Illustrator
Susan Woods enjoys black and white line expressions. Some forms give a hint of a figure, but Woods work is really about mark-making. Even within the more solid shapes, we see a different use of line, more or less dense to create the intensity of solid black, or a lighter version. Her work has a certain magic to it, exactly because there is no representation of objects and the tentative feel of her lines.
"Susan Woods is an artist/affiliate of CEI ArtWorks. She has been creating intuitive drawings with marker ink on paper. The work is non-representational, black and white; the lines are tentative interspersed with more decisive looking dense shapes. Woods uses a variety of black sharpies; even within that limitation of just black Woods is making many decisions on where a particular drawing is going."
