Chromatic Creatures: Pawtrait Paintings by Suzy Rad

Join us for an artist reception! Meet Suzy and grab a world class glass of Big Basin Wine or a Hugo Spritzer! Cozy up at a fire pit table or a couch inside. Bring a friend and your dog– kids welcome too– or come solo and make new friends! Suzy Radonsky is a self-taught Santa Cruz based acrylic painter specializing in neo-realistic wildlife and pet portraits that explore the spirit and presence of animals. Her work is driven by a deep fascination with the emotional and energetic connection between humans and the animal world. Suzy seeks to reveal their individuality, intelligence and soul. Her distinctive technique layers bold, unexpected color beneath intricate fur, feathers and scales, creating luminous depth and vibrancy. Using a distinctive layering technique she gradually builds fur, feathers and scales over bright colors, allowing light and energy to radiate to the surface. Recently diagnosed as Autistic, Suzy recognizes how her heightened sensory perception informs her work, allowing her to see and translate vivid color relationships with unusual intensity and nuance. Her paintings move beyond traditional realism toward a more intuitive representation of the natural world. We look forward to seeing you! https://www.suzyradarts.com/ [email protected] IG and FB: @suzyrad
