An award winning artist, Susan works out of her spacious West Redding,
Connecticut studio, The Lobster Pot, so named by Mark Twain
who owned the property at the turn of the century.
Susan has made art a lifelong commitment. To her, each portrait is
an opportunity to express the unique spirit of each individual character.
She believes a portrait is a cherished heirloom to be shared and enjoyed
generation after generation.
Susan takes pride in being primarily self taught. She has painted
since she was a small child and believes that both her unrelenting
determination and intense studies of the Old Masters, particularly
Valesquez and John Singer Sargent, have brought her the success she
now enjoys.
Susan graduated from Greens Farms Academy, attended one year at the
School of Fine Arts at Boston University, and received a Bachelor
of Arts from the University of Vermont. Her work is displayed in private
collections throughout the East and she has recently been featured
on Three Cable Television Shows, appeared in Fairfield Country
Times magazine, The Artist Magazine, MSNBC Connecticut
News, The News Times, Signature magazine as well as
the Portrait Artist in the Spring 2004 National Geographic
article on Greenwich, Connecticut.
