Susan Hensley paints and photographs largely in the abstract and emotive style; she believes this mode encourages participation by the viewer in what s/he perceives in the image rather than using a realistic style.
Recently, Hensley has sold art at Chateau Morrisette and the
Jacksonville Center and received an Honorable Mention at
ART Along the Alley in Blacksburg.
