Winged Shadow, Waimea Canyon, Kauai by Susan Louise Shatter, 1986, Honolulu Museum of Art

Shatter painted landscapes in both oil and watercolor, preferring the earth tones of volcanic canyons or rocky coastlines rather than the green pastoral settings more traditionally associated with the genre.[1] Winged Shadow, Waimea Canyon, Kauai, in the collection of the Honolulu Museum of Art demonstrates her modernist approach to barren landscapes. The Art Institute of Chicago, the Buffalo Bill Historical Center (Cody, Wyoming), the Honolulu Museum of Art, the Hood Museum of Art (Hanover, New Hampshire), the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, the National Academy Museum and School (New York City), and the Smithsonian American Art Museum are among the public collections holding works by Susan Shatter.[2]
