Athens-based multidisciplinary Artist Susan Hable’s Tending the Wild Quiet presents a series of new paintings in which gardens serve as catalysts for intuition and memory, unfolding freely across her vibrant canvases.
Susan’s practice centers on creating bold, luminous passages of color guided by instinct, energy, and play. Elements drawn from travel occasionally emerge—an echo of a bonsai encountered in Japan, a fleeting botanical form recalled rather than directly observed. These fragments drift through the compositions as part of a broader emotional landscape where growth, attunement, and joy exist in a quiet, shifting balance.
