Piece description from the artist
Walking by this plain black mailbox hundreds of times on the way to the park with, ordinary houses, trees, and cars in the background never seemed like anything very exciting to paint to me. One day while walking by, I took a closer look, fell in love with the everyday scene and took on the challenge of turning it into bright light-hearted and interesting view of the street landscape.
Sue Graef is an award-winning American artist, born in 1957 from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. She currently lives in Clearwater, Florida. Growing up in the suburbs not far from New York enabled her to frequently visit the museums and art galleries, a large influence in her work.
Her works are vibrant acrylic landscape paintings on stretched canvas, lightheartedly expressing her vision of the world.

The Haegeumgang Museum recently acquired “Look Both Ways” in their permanent collection. Future exhibits include a solo exhibit at ARTIFACT Gallery, New York.
