Originally from the Hudson Valley in New York, Susanna Turino has made her home in Mexico for the past 17 years, lured by the clarity of the light and air.
She has studied art from an early age, in the United States, Mexico and Europe, as well as Landscape architecture and garden design in New York City and Kyoto Japan. As a lifelong learner with a natural curiosity, she enjoys combining travel with artist workshops throughout the globe.
Her early career was as a batik artist, creating paintings in resist with dye and fabric. Later, she owned a gallery for 15 years before starting her landscape design business on the Hudson Palisades. She returned to fine art full time after moving to Mexico, working in oil, acrylic, watercolor and collage. She is constantly experimenting with media, materials and techniques in search of unexpected effects and an ephemeral sense of mystery, which has lead her to move away from the representational in her work, toward a style she characterizes as Abstract Impressionism.
Her work can be found in collections in Mexico, United States, and Europe.
