Susan Righter Art & Design

Cant get enough of these locally grown flowers from ! She outdid herself this week: stunning dahlias, lilies, snapdragons, black-eyed Susan’s, and sunflowers. I’m learning how to arrange, and I’m sure I’m breaking floral design rules I don’t even know!😁

I am a dancer…and I always will be. Thanks to a nice lady in cardio dance today who reminded me of this. I wore this “I’ll bring the dance moves” hat my friends gave me to class, and she struck up a conversation afterwards. Turns out she teaches dance at a local dance studio.

I love dance, and I’ve danced off and on most of my life! But I forget this sometimes. It’s nice to remember. Swipe to see a couple of photos that took of me in dance poses, almost 15 years and definitely 15 pounds ago.

There’s a thread of dance in my paintings, in the rhythm and movement. I can see that. It’s very interrelated. Maybe this was a little nudge from above to tap into this a bit more in my work. We’ll see!

To help my vet celebrate their 20th anniversary, I’m donating two custom pet collages for their raffle for donations. We’ve been going there for almost 17 of the 20 years!

Peonies are one of my muses, without a doubt. Full of textural details of acrylic paint, collage, acrylic mediums, and water soluble crayons, this piece is layered. Peony Promise reminds me…the season for this gorgeous bloom may be winding down, but I get to create lasting blooms in my art.

Room vignette created using

Layers of materials: pencil, bits of paper, paint. All add depth and history to this small piece. It’s a small piece with history and a story that emerged over several studio sessions. I never quite know where a piece will end up. This might be a perfect little piece for a powder room or a desk area. It’s available, so reach out if you’re interested. It’s called “Floral Melody”

Love using to help you visualize my work in a space.
