Animal Spirit and the Corporate Office was a release of anger from the insanity that was created within my corporate headquarters in the summer of 2010. New directors, constant changes through our state government in the education system, and the construction remodeling mess in our campus, along with new corporate programs to promote green companies was a nightmare and all were imposed at the same time. Nature has a way of survival.
I tried capturing the flowing lines of nature and design that seem to flow from one form to another. These lines are repeated over and over in nature. When I am drawing for preparation on an idea I start with the research. Noah’s ark showed itself in a dream and then I played with the positive and negatives of animal power along with the spirit of the animal characters. I related them to the humans I love and hence the animal totem and the dynamics of my family. The bear, tiger, dragon and mountain lion are keys to my thinking. Grace and evil, beauty and destruction are opposites but the cause of how things are.
My characters have individual personality traits which coincided with my perspective of the corporate environment. Wild and frightening, I’ll never understand how these corporations can consider numbers to be of such importance when the heart and soul are being devaluated. I don’t want to burn bridges for I am grateful to be working here in San Diego with amazing staff and friends, fellow employers that I truly care about. But I do have other roads to follow.
When I am drawing for preparation on an idea I start with the research. Noah’s ark showed itself in a dream and then I played with the positive and negatives of animal power along with the spirit of the animal characters. My discovery of natures designs while drawing and painting over the years have shown to flow and I flow in the moment from one form to another. I used these lines to create a visual illusion of plants, animals and humans along with mystical energies such as the firebird.
If you would like to know where all the animals are hidden I will give you some hints. LOOK FOR THE WHITE DOTS TO FIND THE EYES OF THE LIFE within this painting. The goddess crying out for release and to be in spirit. The demon with a forked tongue on the far right. The bear on the left as a frontal face. If you look just below the center of the eye to find a animal skull. Below the bears eye is the elephant head with trunk up for luck (in my opinion that elephant is the greatest of all animal energies). The mountain lion (the natural enemy of the bear and the salmon his favorite food). Turtle, alligator and the mermaid are in the water to the left. These are incorporated for the energy they possess. Above the bears eye is octopus, dear, eagle, black swan and skunk all in a crazy mix of the flowing lines I discovered. Directly in the center is the Firebird or Phoenix and because God has a sense of humor the bee on the noses. Inside the tigers eye is a memory of one of the first paintings I did as a child. I call “The whale after the storm”, along with the hawk. Below tigers eye you will find the fox, otter, hamster, duck, dragon, and others . Rabbit in the bottom right hand corner signifies how I felt looking at this mix of insanity called life. She is one my personal totems along with the mountain lion, hummingbird, buffalo and lizard. You can find her in the bottom right hand corner.
I have had an amazing adventure with these kindred spirits and wanted to incorporate them into Animal Spirit and the Corporate Office.
Note: This painting was achieved using glazes and acrylic mix that has many layers of color mixed by SAAS giving a richness of tone and color.

Michael
Hear my words, they are mightier than the sword. Have no Fear.
Archangel Michael is an ancient protector of the hero. His words are mightier than his blue flamed sword... I sense and see Michael as a blast of light and energy portrayed by fire. His blue flame sword is used in a split second when he is on a quest for peace and evil that destroys our minds.

My name is Sue Ann Alton Sanders. I started out painting with the signature Alton the young artist growing up in the Arizona desert. I love the outdoors and learned to appreciate all forms of life. I became a wildlife artist.
As I came out of the "Art Center" my illustrations, paintings and designs were signed Alton. I married my husband Henry Sanders and the signature became SAS (Sue Ann Sanders). I started developing into more abstraction and used a variety of pigments.
I realized that the Alton needed to be seen and now becoming one again becomes SAASY. Today you can call me SAASY. Why did I add the Y? Because it fits me! I am SAASY.
Today if you take a close look at my newest gallery selections which I call Symbolic Abstraction you will find many symbols used in the universal spirit.
By bringing this image of your choice into your home or work place you will eventually be connected with the message recreated from a higher power. I spend weeks with each canvas to be able to interpret this from my heart to yours with brush in hand. Women and men of all ages will see different images depending on their experience. If you have questions I am here to assist you.
Living in San Diego continues to be an awesome adventure and I am very grateful for friends and family that helped in so many areas. I’ve come along way (as we all have) and I hope you are inspired by my designs as these messages are received from the heart and the creative mind.
