Born in Bristol, Virginia, USA. The Greater Piedmont area of North Carolina, has been Susan's home for the past thirty plus years, where she lives with her husband and raised their two grown children. After working in the corporate world for 13 years then home educating both her children and caring for elderly parents, she decided it was time to return to the love of her childhood. So, in 2004 she returned to art and began painting, primarily working with acrylics and mixed media on canvas. Her paintings are a study in color and texture as they relate to particular subjects.
Susan took private art lessons at an early age under the late artist Frances Kendall. She loves the thrill of working with different textures, mediums, and methods to find new ways of expressing herself through art. Over the years Susan has enjoyed expressing herself through pottery, pen and ink, charcoal, oil, watercolor, acrylic, sculpture, and stained glass; however, abstract painting with texture and mixed media is her favorite.
