Susanne Nyberg (American, b. 1953). Untitled desert landscape. Oil on canvas. Ca. 2000s. Signed "S. Nyberg" on lower left. A stunning landscape depicting the Arizona desert created by American artist Susanne Nyberg. The composition is delineated in Nyberg's signature realistic style with her meticulous technique and adept palette knife work. Notice the dramatic desert light illuminating the mountains, cacti, and other desert flora, perhaps at sunrise or sunset, as well as the breathtaking melange of hues - lavender, azure and sky blue, sage and spring green, plum, rose, golden yellow, and peach. According to Nyberg's artist statement, "Susanne Nyberg’s artistic inspiration comes from the Arizona mountains where she lives. Whether she is painting realistic landscapes, or abstract paintings that incorporate minerals and gems mined from the mountains, the natural beauty of her surroundings compels her to create art." Size: 22" L x 28" W (55.9 cm x 71.1 cm)

Susanne Nyberg was raised in Massachusetts, later moved to Washington, D.C., and then to Arizona. In Boston, she studied at the Art Institute and The School of the Museum of Fine Arts, and in Washington, D.C., she studied at the Corcoran School of the Arts and Design. This said, perhaps her greatest influence was artist Bill Freeman, the prominent Western landscape painter whom she met when she moved to Arizona early in her career. Freeman would become her mentor and close friend. Nyberg is best known for her impressively realistic oil and palette knife plein air landscape paintings. She and her husband have lived in the scenic Arizona desert in a small town called Carefree for most of their lives.
