    Susan Hawker paints landscapes in both oiland watercolour. Her way of painting has often led to comparisons with Cezanne. Like him, she uses painterly forms to construct a natural landscape, working to articulate underlying shapes and a fracturing of space. These techniques come together in Hawker’s landscapes as harmonious reflections of scenes from nature. As with this painting of two trees – rather than simply replicating the scene in front of her, Hawker conveys the visual effect of a place, or the way a viewer might receive a landscape, were they situated within it.
