"Susan Hall's latest book, Home Before Dark, delves further into a quiet, enchanted world of her own that ruefully but also tenderly mixes a knowing mysticism with the potential of unknown drama.

Her distinct, personal vocabulary evokes a lost, misty surrealism while directly focusing on lyrical narrative abstraction. Her paintings in burnished golds, somber browns and sensuous blues are "dreamscapes" of vastness as the artist loses herself in the flow and pulse of nature. Forms of earth are united and climax. An intimist, Susan Hall says, "Nature is the only thing that explains human nature."

-Paul Gardner

 

"From the great artists of the past, it would be wonderful to hear the voice of the artist, and also hear the ideas that caused them to create. Their ideas could be quite different from what contemporary critics think of their motives and methods. When an artist is dead, we only have physical evidence as to what he or she may have been thinking.

Susan Hall's mind is a deep, spatial expanse that is reflected in her work, but one might not immediately understand her motives. So, look at Susan's work and her what she thinks. You might be amazed"
