SUMMARY:Full Bloom Fever
DESCRIPTION:Opening Sunday April 12th!We’re kicking off spring with new bold\, bright\, and joyous floral paintings from Sue Riger. Come find the perfect bouquet that will stay in bloom for years to come. \nSue Riger is a popular painter\, teacher\, and mentor. She dabbled in graphic design and web design with success after earning her BFA from Penn State University\, but she always longed to be painting. Pursuing her goal of becoming a painter was challenging and fun. She plunged into online and live painting classes\, workshops and residencies from professional painters in a variety of styles. As a result of consistent experimentation and practice\, Sue is now an accomplished artist. She joyfully engages in painting as a response to the beauty around us. \nSue’s paintings are characterized by strong light and well-developed layers of beautiful color. Her creative outlets include exclusive original paintings for galleries\, commissioned work\, and art for print licensing. Creating extensive series of works for her agents taught her to hone her painting skills as well as generate quality large-scale high-resolution images for the print industry. She believes an artist’s work should not leave the studio until it is her best. \nEmpowering other artists is Sue’s way of paying it forward. She created several painting courses and launched her own online school. A skilled teacher\, she offers both live and online learning opportunities in representational and abstract techniques. Sue is also a mentor to aspiring artists via Mastrius Official\, a company based in Canada dedicated to helping artists reach their goals. Her practice of sharing helpful content and beautiful art has launched her to become an influencer on Instagram where she delights in interacting with artists\, collectors\, agents\, and galleries. \nFeatured WorksSue Riger ‘Blue Sky’ Acrylic on Canvas 24”x24” $2500 \nSue Riger ‘Poetry of Petals’ Acrylic on Canvas 40”x30” $3050 \nSue Riger ‘Bloom Into Light’ Acrylic on Canvas 36’x48′ $4312 \nSue Riger ‘Petal Party’ Acrylic on Canvas 24”x24” $2500 \nSue Riger ‘Garden Whispers’ Acrylic on Canvas 60″x48″ $6900 \nSue Riger ‘Vivid Living’ Acrylic on Canvas  24”x24” $2500
