Suzanne Owens 
Dallas-born
Suzanne Owens divides her time between the Texas Hill Country and
northern New Mexico, and always feels most at home in the American West.
Working mostly in oil or pastels, Suzanne cites
as her greatest inspiration the natural world around her. “I want
those who see my paintings to feel that they are with me, seeing the
same play of light and shadow, the same colors and reflections,” she
says. “In my work, I get to experience these amazing visual gifts from
God, and I want to help others have that chance.”
Suzanne’s affinity for her subject matter has
been a part of her life for as long as art itself. First as a
10-year-old enrolled in the Dallas Museum of Art’s children’s
program and later as an art and architecture student at the University
of Texas, Suzanne was drawn to animals, to quiet places, to areas of
beauty away from traffic and noise. When she paints, she offers viewers
of her works a glimpse of the places she herself feels most at peace.
Still an eager student today, Suzanne spends a
big part of each year participating in workshops with artists and
friends such as Skip Whitcomb, Matt Smith, Scott Christensen, Doug
Dawson and Albert Handell. A signature member of the Pastel Society of
America and the Pastel Society of the West Coast and a member of Oil
Painters of America, American Impressionists Society, Alla Prima
International, the Degas Pastel Society and the Pastel Society of the
Southwest, Suzanne says she feels blessed to live the life she does.
