For Suzanne Leonard, creating art is a gift. A native Oklahoman, a move to Chicago in 1989 provided Suzanne the opportunity to begin her art instruction and her art career. After many years of study and work with watercolor, oil painting and fluid acrylic, she has chosen to focus on fluid acrylic.

Fluid acrylic is a dynamic and unconstructed art form. By combining acrylic paint with other mediums, she is able to achieve the unique styles you see on the trays and wall pieces. Each piece is handmade, original and exceptionally unique. For more information about her artwork, head over to www.bluemoonart.gallery 

Suzanne stated, "Charleston is the place I now call home". It took Suzanne 30 years to claim that statement, but it is now a reality and she couldn't be happier. The vibrant art community, the vibe of the low country and the friendliness of everyone she meets is a true inspiration to her everyday.
