"Painting in the medium of encaustic is energizing: 
​the heated wax is sculptural and malleable 
with colors melding together in unexpected ways."

Suzanne Damrich is a Southern artist located on the Alabama Gulf Coast. Exploratory hours in the studio combined with numerous workshops and private instruction over 35 years have informed her work, with the last 17 focused on encaustic.

​“Painting transports me to a mystical place where I am in tune with some benevolent energy much greater than myself from which I get inspiration, encouragement and hope. Intuition and spontaneity drive my process, allowing me to translate awe and wonder into something tangible.” Juried into regional exhibitions and local galleries, her work is in private collections throughout the United States.

"I want my work to speak to those who have lost touch with the beauty and necessity of nature. As a Master Gardener, cultivating my butterfly garden under ancient live oaks has given me a reverence for the soil, plants and trees that sustain us. My emotional connection to nature continually inspires my art, grounding me in nature’s rhythms of renewal and hope."
