Susan has had a love for art as far back as she could remember. Her mother who was an artist, instilled in her, her love for art. The artists in her family stretch back many generations, so it's clear it runs through her blood. She spent her early married life raising her family, and now she has found her way back to painting most every day.
She paints in acrylics, oils and watercolor. She is quoted, "Each medium brings a different energy to my work, and I enjoy how they challenge me to work in different ways. Whether it be more control, or more patience, I love them all".
