Susan tailors step by step processes to meet personal needs, lifting practical, creative, or idealistic blocks to help make space for fresh possibilities—in Toronto and beyond, in person, on the phone, or on-line.
Original Artwork
In Toronto, studio visits are by appointment, commissions welcome. Artwork is on exhibit at Dynamic Funds' Head Office and Rosh Salon, respectively, through 2012.
Passion and Treasure: Portraiture and More
Have a special person, pet, or place that you wish to celebrate? A photo records a moment. A painting gives extra meaning to that moment. Don't know what to say? Add a poem. Susan can help... Susan pays tribute to her geriatric doggies with the LOVE series—and includes herself too! All paintings are oil on birch, 2011: We, 24 x 24 in, She-Lev, 18 x 24 in, He-Sage,16 x 20 in. Sometimes a picture can say a thousand words. No poetry necessary here...
Licensed Artwork Artaic/Susan R Makin Collection
Susan collaborates with Artaic to develop cheerful and distinctive surroundings. Her original imagery translates beautifully to wall- and floor-tile mosaics, customizable in a range of finishes and dimensions, easy install indoors and out. The Blueberries mosaic (above left) is a small section taken from a bigger painting then enlarged. The mosaic is made from 3/8 in vitreous glass. The painting (above right) was part of Susan's Florence Biennale Collection, Buon Appetito! After choosing one of Susan’s images, the rest is easy!
