Artist Biography:

Susan received a B.A. in Art from the University of California at Berkeley where she was schooled in a variety of mediums. As a student in the late 70’s she studied painting under Joan Brown. During that period, she worked part time for the University Bear Backers designing brochure covers for athletic events. She also designed the poster for the U.S.A. vs U.S.S.R. International Track Event. When Susan started exhibiting at the Festival of Arts in Laguna Beach, she decided to explore other subject matters as well as her landscape paintings. “I enjoy painting things that I love, and going to museums is one of my favorite things to do.” Her depiction of museum goers is a juxtaposition between our current culture and the historical masterpieces on view. No matter what the subject, Susan knows she is ultimately successful when someone viewing her painting experiences the same delight from the scene as she did.
