It’s been a busy and rewarding few months for artist Susan Walker, with new work, exhibition opportunities, and paintings finding their way to new homes.

During a month-long exhibition at TAG in Port Clinton, two of Walker’s works sold. Seven additional works sold through the Eyes to See exhibition. She also sold two Pittsburgh-inspired paintings directly from her studio and a floral painting to a private collector.

Walker was accepted into the Pittsburgh Society of Artists’ 60th Annual Exhibition, where two paintings, Feeling of Yes and The Choice, were exhibited at the Cranberry Municipal Complex in October.

Walker continues to develop her contemporary abstract painting practice, exploring color, movement, floral and organic motifs, and layers of mixed media. Her work often incorporates embedded words and textured marks, adding depth and intention to paintings created to bring joy, warmth, and a sense of presence to everyday spaces.

Beyond the studio, Walker continues to participate in and support Urban Sketchers Pittsburgh, connecting with fellow artists through regular sketching outings. She has also embraced a new creative outlet through Substack, where she shares sketches, studio processes, and reflections on her artistic practice through her publication, Splatterings.

As the holiday season approaches, Walker is preparing new work and smaller original pieces for holiday shoppers. She will participate in Winter in the Studios, a curated art-shopping experience at Aluminum City Arts on November 21. She is also planning Christmas card and mixed-media classes in November, with additional mixed-media workshops planned for the winter.

Looking ahead to the new year, Walker will exhibit a collection of paintings and works on paper at JL Shorr Galleries in Zelienople. The exhibition opens January 7, with a reception on January 23 from 2–5 p.m.
