Nathrop painter Sue Ann Hum will have her collection of paintings of familiar Salida scenes on display at Heart of the Rockies Regional Medical Center (HRRMC) from now through Dec. 31.

Created in 2019, Hum’s paintings use enhanced color and/or translucent layering with different lines, patterns and textures. Her work is recognized for its bold brushwork and colors, and is strongly influenced by Post-Impressionist painters, such as Vincent van Gogh, and Impressionists including Claude Monet.

Her artwork has been featured in local and regional exhibits as well as in Giverny, France, at Galerie Blanche.

Hum serves as the Salida Council for the Arts board president and Salida Art Walk 2019 event chair and was recently appointed to the City of Salida Public Art Commission.

She is also a member of the local Plein Air artist group, Plein Air Artists of Colorado, Salida’s DRAW group, Artists for Conservation and the Sangres Art Guild. All of Hum’s paintings in the hospital exhibit are for sale, and 25 percent of the proceeds are donated to the HRRMC Foundation. This is the hospital’s fourth exhibit this year, part of its mission to create a healing environment for patients and visitors.

HRRMC will also host a reception from 5:30 to 7 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 29, for the four artists whose work was featured in the hospital’s rotating art exhibits this year.

The reception is open to the public and will be held in the hospital’s atrium lobby by the main entrance.
