Susan and Portia

Susan Gray is a local artist whose creative journey began years ago as a way to stay connected with her grandmother and nurture her artistic spirit. After relocating to beautiful British Columbia, Susan had the opportunity to pursue her art more seriously, studying at the Vancouver Island School of Art and immersing herself in the West Coast art scene. Now back in her home studio, Susan continues to create new pieces that reflect her evolving artistic practice.

Inspired by the beauty of nature, Susan is fascinated by how colours and textures blend together in both random and perfect harmony. Her paintings often capture landscapes—places she knows or has visited—allowing her to re-create these special locations and preserve her connection to them through art.

Recently, Susan has been exploring a more abstract style of landscape painting, enjoying the challenge of pushing the boundary between realism and abstraction. Some days she finds herself rooted in one style, while on others, she moves freely between the two, embracing the fluidity of her creative process. Whether grounded in the tangible beauty of the natural world or venturing into abstraction, Susan’s work remains deeply connected to her love for nature and the landscapes that continue to inspire her.
