Mural - Mount Marathon - 2000
Many of Susan’s oil paintings depict parts of roofs of commercial and/or residential buildings with backdrops of various grand mountains in the Seward area. The mountains are timeless and their beauty and strength speak to everyone. Susan’s paintings reflect the unique juxtaposition of natural forms with manmade forms found in Seward and many include historical buildings which correspond with the origins of Seward in 1903. Other paintings are inspired by the dramatic seascapes and landscapes of Resurrection Bay and nearby waters. Susan’s oil paintings are striking with bold compositions and use of bright, vibrant colors that depict the many clear and cold winter days when the air is thin and fresh.
Susan has created art for the State of Alaskaa One Percent For Arts Program and has had her work purchased by the State Art Bank. Her paintings have been accepted in 8 All Alaska Juried Art Exhibitions at the Anchorage Fine Arts Museum.
Alaskan artist, Susan Swiderski, lives in Seward, Alaska and has resided in Alaska since 1969.
