Susan Fitch Brown has been making art or studying art all her life. In childhood there were always trips to museums and she was often enlisted to make samples for her mother's art teaching. As an adult a chance job led her to work for an art historian, organizing her reference work and researching and writing entries for an exhibition catalog. She loved the research but slowly realized that she kept wanting to make art herself and use her studies to inform her work. Susan finds much personal reward in the work and the learning that are the constant companions of making art.

Much of my work is nature-oriented specializing in wildlife, landscapes, flora, and fauna.
