Suzanne has a Bachelor of Fine Art from The California College of Art in Oakland, and has experience in mediums from graphic design and furniture to textiles. Running a faux finish and mural business for 16 years in the San Francisco Bay Area, she has now focused her creative energy to painting on canvas. Suzanne continues to study with many masters in the fine arts.

"I'm continually astounded by the magic transformation that occurs when a blank canvas, paints and some brushes, unite and become a picture which moves us and has soul. After working in mediums that required much technical preparation, I fell in love with the spontaneity of paint. Beginning with a single stroke of my brush, I get immediate gratification. Motivated by such spontaneity, I paint from real life as it is passing before our eyes. Drawing from live models, actual still lifes, and plein air painting in the great outdoors, I'm constantly moved by our everchanging landscape and marvel at the universal language of emotion through art."
