"Cairns (balancing groups of rocks) allow us to ponder the balance of life. Painting is my medicine. It calms me. It is healing" - Susan Makara

Susan Makara fell in love with cairns in 2000 in Sedona, Arizona. She found herself surrounded by rock formations of every shape and size during her visit, and took several photos of the ones that defied her sense of gravity. She instantly felt a deep connection.  This was the moment that started her inspiration for the 'Rock Series'... The beginning of a huge success story, with over 100 pieces collected world wide.
