My love for oil painting incorporates my love for the landscape, for color, light and place.
Susan began studying oil painting in high school. Her first large scale still-life won The Golden Key Award from the Boston Globe. A portfolio review of her work won the Blue Ribbon from the Massachusetts College of Art. Susan went on to study fine art, majoring in Fine Art and oil painting at Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs, NY. There she studied with artists Jeff Elgin and Pat Cauley and minored in Art History. In the late 90’s Susan returned to Worcester, MA for a brief period and studied with professional artist and master color theorist Bill Griffiths at the Worcester Art Museum. Her work with Bill Griffiths strengthened her love for color and color theory which she employs in every piece.
Born and raised in Massachusetts, Susan moved to New Mexico following her Graduate Degree from Lesley College in the early 1990’s to be immersed in the landscape that inspires her and draws her in. In 1999 her work took her to Colorado where the light and landscape continue to shape her work. Susan is a member of the Heritage Fine Arts Guild and a former juried member of the Littleton Artist Guild, both in Littleton, Colorado, where she exhibits work locally.
