Susan  has been a working artist for more than 20 years. She was trained in Fine Arts and English Literature, graduating with a B.A. from St. Joseph's University followed by post-graduate study towards an MFA at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts.

Susan's flair for seeing the usual in unusual ways and her love of fine arts has followed her both through her career, in computer graphics, logo design, illustration,  as an art teacher and as a commissioned artist, and 5 time award winner at the Philadelphia Flower Show for artistic jewelry design.

Susan's paintings span a range between extreme detail and whimsy, with a special focus on how light turns everyday images into emotional vistas. She continues to accept commisioned work,  but with an effort to pursue a personal vision.

Susan is currently represented by Artists House Gallery in Old City Philadelphia. Her work was recently juried into the Hudson Valley Art Association Annual show by reputed artist Nelson Shanks- the show ran the month of July at the National Arts Club on Grammercy Park, NYC.

New work will be on display at the Art in City Hall Exhibit Sept-Oct 2010, the December show at Artists House Gallery, and as a featured artist January 2011 at Artists House.
