The HOPE Art Project Art Auction is this Friday, May 1st at Factory Arts District and it’s for a great cause! 💗

Excited and thankful to welcome back donor Susie Q Studio to our 4th Art Auction!

Susie Ardelean is an abstract mixed-media artist and lifetime Hoosier. She creates ethereal paintings using alcohol inks, isopropyl alcohol, acrylics, gold leaf, and crystals on Yupo, canvas, and wooden panels. Susie’s paintings are coated in UV-protective resin which adds depth and dimension to the pieces and gives each painting a glass-like finish. Some of her work is inspired by sacred geometry and quilt designs. “The art I create is a personal practice in mindfulness, a form of self-expression, and an ongoing experiment with color and ink. I share my artwork with the hope of bringing peace and inspiration to the viewer, as well as beauty into a space.” Susie’s painting, “Breakthrough” won the People’s Choice Award in the 2024 Hoosier Art Salon. She works out of her home studio in Avon, Indiana.

Art has been a therapeutic tool to help me work through and process feelings of grief, loss, and uncertainty. It has also helped me express joy, connection, and growth. Caring for my mental health is a priority for me. I do this by caring for myself as a whole person and tending to my needs through my art practice, physical movement, sobriety, spirituality, continued learning, supportive relationships, and service to others.

Thank you for sharing your work and your mental health experience with us.

See and fight me for, I mean bid on, Susie’s work at our auction!

A couple weeks ago, Sydney and Elias and I went to check out the Hoosier Salon Exhibit at the State Museum before it ended. I was so happy to see that my painting, “Love Flows Like Water” had sold! If you bought the painting, please reach out! I would love to thank you and meet you.

While we were there, we realized it was the Dia de Los Mu***os Celebration at the Eitejorg Museum! I was so excited to go because I’ve never been before and had wanted to attend for years. It was great! There were lots of vendors selling artwork, food, and clothing. There was a room filled with different ofrendas. We made little buttons and had a great time. 🧡🤎🖤🤍
