The Art of Susie Campion

Contemporary Watercolor

Susie Campion is a Nashville-based contemporary painter and graphic designer whose work bridges the natural and built environment. She creates primarily in watercolor, ink, and gouache, often adding stains, textures, and layered details. Known for her botanical watercolors, patterned compositions, and luminous streetscapes, Campion approaches each painting with a balance of form and design.

Her process is rooted in observation, curiosity, and a deep connection to nature, allowing her to notice details that might otherwise be overlooked. She studies the shapes of flowers, the veins of leaves, and the shifting tones of the sky, translating these fleeting impressions into her work. From the colors of a sunset to the textures of a fallen branch, she brings the outside world inward, creating compositions that reflect both the beauty of the moment and the feeling it evokes. In doing so, she weaves together observation and emotion, bridging landscapes with inner reflection and translating them into richly layered works on paper and canvas.

Through her paintings, Susie Campion invites you to see the world with heightened awareness of form, structure, and beauty. Whether in the delicate veins of a leaf or the geometry of a city street, her work reveals the timeless dialogue between design and nature.
