I'm Susan M Omand and I was born and brought up in Aberdeenshire. I now live and work in Fife, but still make frequent visits north to the Moray coast to recharge my creative batteries...
Here's a bit about each of the options you'll find on the top menu of Omand Original's website...
About My Art
From being a hobby painter, to balance a busy career in IT, in 2008 I took an opportunity to treat my art more seriously and converted my creative pastime into a full-time career, setting up Omand Original. I paint from scratch in a digital medium (using a tablet and stylus rather than a canvas and paints) and I enjoy experimenting with strong shapes and colour palettes to create art that often reflects traditional themes while still being strikingly different. I DO sell my art, through REDBUBBLE and you can also CONTACT me to ask about commissions, graphic design/logo work or special prints etc.

I've written for a few different websites in the past and you may have read a lot of these articles before. Art, music and poetry are all very important to me and I wanted to share my thoughts and opinions on them with you, so it seemed like a good idea to add these to my website. Note that these articles are me writing ABOUT art, music and poetry - you'll find my own creative endeavours in other menu options. I will be writing more ABOUT them in the future too, as the muse strikes, so keep an eye on the listings.
Talking of poetry, yes I have been known to scribble a few stanzas down on paper/pixel myself. I thought I would add some to the website, just to give you another chance to point and laugh at me.
So, whether it is paintings, ponderings or poetry you're after, I hope you enjoy my creative corner of the internet. One thing's for sure, you're always guaranteed to find something Original!
