Susan Maddux
My work is primarily about the landscape, and the interaction between people and technology in the landscape.

I draw on the Hawaiian Islands for inspiration. I grew up in the islands and they are the imaginary location of these paintings.

This work attempts to ask questions such as: What is native? What is natural? What is beauty?

The iconography I use is drawn from people and things in my life, past and present. There is often a sense of nostalgia in my work.

I try to create work that reflects my personal concerns and sensibilities as well as those of our age through a poetry of disparate imagery.
