Susan Sarback, a native of New York City, was surrounded by great art from an early age. Wandering through museums and galleries since childhood, she developed an appreciation and respect for the highest qualities in art. At an early age she began her formal study, it culminated in a Bachelors and Masters degree in Fine Art. After years of studying both abstract painting and representational art, she was still searching for a deeper understanding about light and color. She discovered Henry Hensche, an American Impressionist painter in the lineage of Charles Hawthorne, William Merrit Chase, and Claude Monet. After years of in-depth study with this master painter, she began to uncover the deep secrets about light and color that she had searched for throughout her life.
Sarback’s paintings are always about the quality of light. Her subjects will range from rivers, ponds, and bridges to waterfalls and vistas. “I focus on refining my visual perception and capturing that on canvas. My subject is always light and color. It took years of training to be receptive to light, form, and rhythm and I learned this by painting from life with natural light both outdoors and in the studio. This has enabled me to refine subtle color variations that capture the quality of light, atmosphere and space.”
International Artist Magazine named her one of the Master Painters of the world. Her paintings have been shown in galleries in New York City, San Francisco, Napa Valley, Sacramento, Seattle, and Santa Fe. Her works are also held in private collections throughout the world, including the Medical Center of the University of California at Davis and the Kaiser Permanente Medical Group in Sacramento. The Cornell Museum of Art and History in Florida, includes twelve of her paintings in its permanent collection.
Susan Sarback is the author of Capturing Radiant Color in Oils, (Northlight Books, 1994) and is the founder of The School of Light & Color in Fair Oaks, CA. Since 1986, she has lectured about color at over 100 art schools, museums, universities, and art associations. Also she has taught painting workshops and classes throughout the U.S. and Europe. Articles by or about her have appeared in The Artists Magazine, American Artist Magazine, The Los Angeles Times, Sacramento Bee, Sacramento Magazine, and other publications. In April, 2002 PBS aired a feature segment about Susan Sarback and her paintings: Central Valley Chronicles detailed her background, teaching techniques, and her School of Light and Color. She has brought her unique discoveries in Impressionism to Northern California where serious artists from around the world come to immerse themselves in her classes and workshops.
