Suzanne Massion
Hampshire, Illinois
When the land changes, Suzanne Massion's paintings will remind you of the way it once was. She drives the back roads through the tall grass prairies and farmland of her native Illinois, stopping to paint en plein air when the moment strikes. She feels like she's in a race to save a disappearing treasure as buildings burn or open space is paved over. Suzanne donates a portion of her sales to fund local land conservation efforts.

Artist Statement
When the land changes, my paintings will remind you of the way it once was. Driving the back roads through tall grass prairies and farmland, I will see something that makes me stop. I set up my easel to paint en plein air, the challenging but rewarding action of painting out in the open. An old barn, a grassy trail, a country road, a quiet river, all these subjects find their way onto my canvas.
