THE ARTIST
The inspiration behind Susan's talent is the strong connection she feels with both wild and tame animals. She shares an exceptional bond with all creatures, great and small. As a painter of wildlife, her intent is to transport the viewer into the curious and loving world of animals. The gentle spirit of each creature is conveyed through Susan's paintings.
Susan has been a resident of Central Pennsylvania since 2001, and her artistic ability surprisingly surfaced a year later at the age of 45. Susan is self-taught and works mainly with oil paint on masonite panel, with an occasional scratchboard with oil highlights, acrylic, and pastel. She is captivated by the magic of warm and cool colors complimenting each other, along with the drama of light and shadow.
Susan's most expressive painting is rendered with the creature "up close and personal" so that you, the viewer, can feel their essence. Look into their eyes and you will see their spirit and hear their story.
Susan is also a freelance wildlife photographer. Her nature and wildlife photography can be enjoyed at www.SusanAfflerbach.com.
Susan also serves as webmaster for the Hershey Area Art Association (www.HAAAonline.com) and the Art Studio Tour of Central Pennsylvania (www.LVArtTour.org).

May Elmer's Rainbow shine a light of hope to all God's precious creatures and bring you the assurance of the peace that awaits us all... over the rainbow.
