Award winning artist in graphic arts, painting, & sculpture. Susan studied art as a teenager at the DeCordova Museum School, in Lincoln, MA, graduating from the Swain School of Design, New Bedford, MA with a BFA in sculpture. Realizing her discontent with city living while briefly studying with Grace Hartigan at the Maryland Art Institute, MFA program, she fulfilled her desire to live by the sea, where she procured a job with a public relations firm in New Bedford & Nantucket, retiring as senior art director. She has continually maintained a studio and presently is painting with acrylics and oil pastels and building assemblages.
