About the Artist

Susanne is a Canadian artist whose paintings are fresh and vibrant, expressive yet peaceful. She currently works in three distinct styles: abstract, still life botanicals and contemporary landscape featuring wind turbines. Says Langlois: “I love creating, but now more than ever one of the most important parts of my work is making connections with my audience and my clients through my art. The botanicals inspire these connections as they bring to life the world around us that we may not otherwise slow down to appreciate. The wind-turbines represent a sense of place to which so many people now relate. I strive to achieve depth, while capturing a painterly sense of immediacy through texture and colour.” Susanne has exhibited her work in many group and solo shows throughout Ontario. Her work has been purchased by Queen's University, Invest Kingston, Black Dog Restaurants, and numerous private collectors in Canada, the US, New Zealand and Europe. Her work was recently featured as cover art for the Booker Prize longlisted book “Solar Bones”.
