Cultivate Creativity. Reap Joy.
Susan's style of painting has been described as impressionistic, loose, and charming, capturing subjects near her home in middle Tennessee, in simple, broad blocks of color with little use of detail. Although she has experimented with several mediums over the years, she now concentrates in transparent oils. And Alla Prima (painting in one session) is her style preference.
“Born into a family of artists and being a child of the divine Creator, it is impossible to deny the spirit of artistic and creative stirrings within me." We are all artists. It's our nature. We just choose different mediums. Mine is paint. Oil paint mostly. And I will forever be a student, inspired with unending natural beauty and limitless talent of other artists that surround me in rural middle Tennessee.

| BELLA, SASSY and CHIPPER |
Life is full of blessings, big and small. Embrace them. Count them... the game-winning touchdown, the yawn of a puppy, the smell of fresh cinnamon bread baking in the oven, the warmth of a down comforter, the phone call from a friend, a new white canvas and a paintbrush between your fingers.
May you live your life fully engaged, fully appreciating all the beauty and blessings around you, creating happiness, fulfilling your dreams, and building a legacy of love.”
Susan is a member of the Tennessee Art League, Williamson County Art Council, the Chestnut Group Plein Air Painters, and is co-founder of Arts in Action, Inc. which is an art advocacy non-profit partnering with government agencies, businesses, schools, and other non-profits in the southern, middle Tennessee area to promote art and its many benefits.
Susan is also an active art instructor, teaching both children and adults in a variety of settings; on-going classes, evening or afternoon paint-along parties, and one- and two-day workshops. Most of her classes benefit worthy non-profits in her home town of Columbia, Tennessee, including Friends of Maury County Parks, Pet Pals of Maury County, Harvest Share, Maury Regional Medical Center Foundation, and aMuse’um Children’s Museum. A portion of the fees for her commissioned pet portraits benefit three local animal rescues: Pet Pals of Maury County, Snooty Giggles Dog Rescue, and Russell Rescue.
