Wish You Were here by Susan Thornbury, Contemporary Artwork on Panel
Located in Atlanta, GA
Susan Thornbury, Wish You Were Here, 30 x 40
A refined floral painting by Susan Thornbury, Wish You Were Here (30 x 40) features ivory botanical motifs against a soft blue ground. Elegant and timeless, this contemporary artwork brings sophistication and serenity to any interior, making it ideal for collectors and designers seeking statement wall art.
Keywords: Susan Thornbury painting, floral artwork, blue and ivory wall art, 30 x 40 contemporary painting, fine art for interiors.
Susan Thornbury creates richly layered mixed media paintings that feel both modern and timeless. Working on wood panels with plaster and wax, she builds surfaces that are as much about what’s revealed as what’s concealed. Her compositions often begin with structure—repeating motifs inspired by antique textiles, vintage wallpaper, or family heirlooms—then soften and evolve through an intuitive, hands-on process of scraping, sanding, and waxing. The result is work that feels quiet but deeply tactile, inviting viewers to linger and discover the nuance within every petal, line, and edge.
A background in graphic design shapes Susan’s sensibility: there’s a balance between pattern and spontaneity, symmetry and imperfection. Whether working in soft sage greens, misty grays, or whispery whites, she leans into the beauty of restraint, letting texture and subtle shifts in color carry the emotion.
Susan lives and works in Atlanta, where she shares a home with her husband, two daughters, and their spunky rat terrier...

Light Refraction #23 and Small White Lies. Abstract painting on canvas, mounted
Located in Miami Beach, FL
Natasha Zupan beautifully unites the old and new, combining the innovation of her highly crafted technique with her wonder for tradition and the great Masters. This body of work explores the manipulation of surface texture, light, and the interweaving of time. It is not about translating a world that already exists, but about an entrance into a different universe. A timeless, tactile world of sensation and overlapping memory.
Combining Renaissance ideals and concepts with images taken from contemporary media, Natasha Zupan beautifully unites the old and the new in her collage work. Natasha combines the innovation of her elaborate technique with her charm for tradition and the inspiration of the great Masters. Her clear, bright brushstrokes and her play of light and shadow are both rhythmic and youthful. The female figures in her paintings have an undeniable Renaissance character at the time, but they are reborn in our understanding of contemporary aesthetics. Their classic faces become modern nymphs when combined with symbols of nature and beauty. Each figurative work harbors a unique and intricate personality. Powerfully expressive, they are at once pure, sensual, innocent and seductive.
