About:

Susan Magsig Klabak is an award-winning pastel painter known for her expressive landscape paintings.

Born in Ohio, Klabak grew up on a small farm where she developed an appreciation for the land. Currently residing in rural Wisconsin in the summer and traveling to warmer climates in the winter. The scenes outside the door of her Airstream trailer provide inspiration for her work. An appreciation for both the natural world and the pastel medium are reflected in her paintings.

Klabak’s paintings are characterized by her personal and expressive interpretation of the landscape and her ability to go beyond reality and capture the essence of place, inviting dialog with the viewer. Close observation of her work reveals the minimal strokes used to convey a realistic, yet impressionistic, depiction of the landscape, allowing the viewer to fill in detail.

Susan Klabak’s work hangs in national and international private and corporate collections. Her paintings have been exhibited in and received awards in juried regional, national, and international shows. Her work has appeared as cover art and in periodicals.

Klabak is a member of the Pastel Society of America, Wisconsin Plein Air Painters, Wisconsin Pastel Artists, Great Lakes Pastel Society, and Pastel Society of Colorado.

Colour Chart Guidance

We believe the colours in our web based colour chart are a faithful representation of our pastel range. But with any colours portrayed on the internet, there’s a whole heap of variables which mean that what you see, may not be what we see. That said, there’s some things that can be done to mitigate some of the variance.

Mobile phone and tablet screens tend to be pretty good for colour, so they’re always worth using, when viewing our colour chart.

We hate to say it, but cheaper computer displays, including laptops, can be rather hit and miss, in both colour and contrast, so they might not reveal the depth of the colour, as well as the true tone.

If you’re really keen on getting your computer up to speed on colour representation, you can use a calibration device to reach your display's fullest potential.

With all that said, if you think we’re way off the mark with any of the colours then, by all means let us know, and we’ll give it another shot.
