Surrounded by Native American artifacts in her home, artist Sue Krzyston believes these pieces embody the "soul" of their creators. Krzyston, who resides in Arizona and often visits Santa Fe, collects and incorporates these artifacts into her paintings, aiming to bring them to life on canvas through careful attention to light, shadow, and texture. Her self-taught technique, inspired by the Dutch masters, uses thin glazes and layered paint to achieve a three-dimensional realism, particularly in the intricate details of beaded moccasins.

She is also recognized for her traditional still-life works, including a commission for Arizona Senators and Congressmen's Washington DC offices, featuring Arizona-themed compositions. Krzyston's work has been featured in numerous collections, shows, and publications and has been honored in various exhibitions and by prestigious art societies, including a Merit Award from the National Oil and Acrylic Painters' Society and an Honorary Artist Membership at the Mountain Oyster Club. Her contributions to the art community are acknowledged through lectures and her extensive participation in juried art shows, underscoring her role as a significant figure in contemporary Western Art.
