Overview

Welcome to my sketchbook ! This is my sketchbook with 39 samples of my recent work from this past year and from when I began to paint and draw in the eighties. I mix contemporary art with poetry and technology in the form of art books, murals, art prints and interactive projects. The subjects in this collection of small drawings range from dance, urban photography, magnified and coloured flowers, French decorations, and reflection and sea photography. The medium for these images range from paint, watercolour, chalk drawings, digital photography, fabric paint and pencil crayons on different surfaces. I am using more multimedia in my art than I ever did in my art training because I post a lot of art online in my main webpage and for my blog at www.susanaroque.com. I really enjoyed integrating photography with drawing and colouring in this sketchbook. I have put art pieces from an interactive story called the Lighthouse the Bird and the Poem on the Shore, my recent art work. I also have some photography from a poetry and art book called Inverness Street which I hope that you will enjoy. I have some Central American art work in some of the pieces with the brighest colours. Undoubtedly, the culture of Latin America, El Salvador in particular, has influenced a lot of these drawings. My time with in the Mayan markets, towns and land in Guatemala and the rest of Central America influenced the tone and shapes of a lot of my art, as you will see. I included drawings from my training in Laval University and Emily Carr University. There is an exercise I did in class with charcoal and a lot of paper where I had to take one of my favourite objects and make it abstract. I hope you will like it. There is another exercise with charcoal in Quebec, where I used charcoal and bread on carton, which I really enjoyed making which I hope you will take the time to look at. Learning to draw there was well worth my trip at -35 degrees celsius ! The digital art with flowers and images of the sea or any images that are in an art book are some of the most recent pieces. All the images are titled, with the medium and size underneath. I hope you enjoy looking at this collection of images. Sincerely, Susana Roquep.s. I have an artist blog at www.susanaroque.com
