Susan grew up in Shadow Hills, California, a rural area in the foothills of Los Angeles. She comes from three generations of artists and has been painting over 30 years. Susan's love of nature is reflected in her paintings and her greatest inspiration. Residing in Laguna Niguel, she enjoys painting local Southern California landscapes, especially the local canyons, which remind her of the rural setting in which she grew up.  Whenever possible, Susan travels to explore and capture new scenery, Kauai being one of her favorite locations.

Susan is a member of the Orange County Fine Arts and Dana Point Coastal Arts Associations and is currently exhibiting locally in the Southern California.
