"INKED HEARTS"
The Tattoo Portrait Series

By Suzanne M. Shifflett

"The quest is to arrange pigment on a flat surface and make the viewer feel as strongly as I feel when I look into the eyes of a Carravaggio or a Van Gogh, to speak where language falls short"

--Suzanne M. Shifflett

Nationally acclaimed San Francisco artist, Suzanne M. Shifflett, makes her Southern California debut at Flazh!Alley Studio with her latest series, "Inked Hearts: The Tattoo Portrait Series."
