The Larson Company in Tucson hired Sue\u00a0Gurnee who spent two and a half years painting the 17,500 square feet of background murals for the JungleWorld Exhibit at the Bronx Zoo.<\/p>\n<p>Her resonance paintings hang in private and public collections and in13 museums.<\/p>\n<p>Ken Johnson of New York Times likened her work to Kandinsky and chose her series &#8220;Fulgent Cadences&#8221; to review and feature during Art Week NYC. Susan is a member of the National Arts Club in NYC.<\/p>\n<p>Her artwork has been projected during the Festival of Lights already on the Berliner Dom, the Brandenburg Gate, the TV Tower, the Oberbaumbr\u00fccke and the Bode Museum.
