Suzanne Jack’s Rhapsody of Tulips is a series of landscapes created with pastels. Jack states, “Nature inspires with the promise of spring and rejuvenates the human spirit with hope.” Jack’s sensibilities as an artist and devotion to the land are revealed through a vivid color palette and a dynamic energy. Connecting physically and psychologically to the spirit of spring, she presents the land as a metaphor for her interior landscape. Jack perceives herself as a work of art in process and expresses her rejuvenescent spirit through Rhapsody of Tulips.
