In her studio in Denver's Santa Fe Arts District, Sue Coffey Almand paints images of water in a contemporary impressionist style. She studied fine arts at the University of North Florida and seeks to capture water in a way that evokes an intimate connection between the image and the viewer. Her mask, "Soul Swim," represents the momentary and illusory qualities of water expressed as a serene, yet dynamic experience of liberated soul, which connects with the elements of the universe.
