SUSAN HOELTKEN
Susan co-owned In2ArtGallery in downtown Oakville, Ontario Canada for 15 years. In 2024, she decided not to reopen the gallery. While she cherished the interactions with clients and the joy of art discovery, it became clear that it was time for a shift—a fresh wave of creativity.
This shift led her to a fulfilling new path: teaching art, predominantly painting, to elementary school students. Perhaps the most significant development for Susan was rekindling her connection with painting. She has found great joy immersing herself in the creative process once again, exploring new ideas and techniques.
" I have always been drawn to the interplay of colour, light and shadows; especially how colour evokes emotion, energy and movement. My subjects are often the people and places in everyday life - children sledding down a hill in winter, portraits of friends, family and still life floral arrangements which can be arranged to create an original perspective."
