Visual Artist

Susan Varo is seasoned professional mixed-media visual artist specializing in portraiture, still life and landscapes that she creates in the style of realism.

Her work lives at the intersection of realism and abstraction. Through mixed-media approaches ranging from oil and watercolor to acrylics, she creates vibrant, detailed pieces that speak their own unique visual language.

Her art captures fleeting moments, scenes both seen and unseen, familiar yet ephemeral. These glimpses, often overlooked by others, become tangible and unforgettable to her.

Each canvas or sheet of paper is a space where Susan seeks to express something emotionally resonant—something distinct. Her representational works are grounded in the everyday, yet they reach beyond it, reflecting a world we may not perceive, desire, or expect.

As we move toward lives shaped by hope, calm, and clarity, we inevitably encounter outcomes that surprise us. Her art dwells in that space—in the shift, the turning point, the unexpected path.

Through her work, she invites others to pause, reflect, and find meaning in what’s often overlooked.

Her ambitious nature for creating paintings from that which surrounds her has become her motto, "Creating Art From Life."

Note:  Susan Varo is also a published author of the science fiction thriller The Happening.  Along with designing the book cover, she offers readers a glimpse into the future, as well as offering a visual experience like no other.  The Happening  Available on Amazon.com
