BRIEF ART BIO: Susan has been painting since the 1960s. She has won best of show in the Redwood Art Association and Westhaven Center for the Art and her last solo show was held in Dublin, Ireland. Her paintings have been hand-cried back to such places as Australia, Italy, Bhutan, the Netherlands, Morocco, Peru, Colombia, Japan and other countries. Each painting can take several months to several years to create as each work is unique in subject and often an exploration of constantly changing style, often inspired by dreams or by her education work in more than thirty countries. Susan was a founding member of the Trinidad Art Gallery, now offering her work through art galleries or the internet, preferring to spend "art" time actually working in her studio.
