Contemporary wabi-sabi art by Susannah Hightower bridges ancient philosophy and modern design. Her textured paintings embody the wabi-sabi ideals of transience, simplicity, and authenticity—translated through a distinctly architectural lens.

Hightower’s works reveal a reverence for erosion, fracture, and repair. Using organic materials like gypsum and clay, she captures the quiet dignity of age and imperfection.

These pieces complement modern interiors and contemporary collectors who value restraint and atmosphere. Rooted in calm and contrast, Hightower’s art invites viewers to slow down—to notice texture, shadow, and silence as part of the composition.
