Susan is not a life-long artist but has taken a few classes and has traveled to France various times to paint the beautiful and bright colors found in the French countryside and seascapes, the flowers (especially sunflowers), and still-life settings she creates. Bright, bold colors make up her palette. She loves to see a blank canvas gradually take on the evolving details of a completed work, to hopefully please and inspire others. She paints in oils, acrylics and watercolor and ink.
