Suzanne Napgezek, a Willmar resident, began painting in 1994. Her medium is transparent watercolor. Here's what Suzanne has to say about her art: "I am drawn to blending colors and to the movement of waterpaint in natural settings. Painting is a challenge...always teaching me something new about it and about myself."
Suzanne's work is on display at North American Financial Center.
"This activity is made possible in part by a grant from the SOUTHWEST MINNESOTA ARTS & HUMANITIES COUNCIL (SMAHC) with funds appropriated by the State Legislature and the McKnight Foundation."
