New pieces from the easel
Each painting is an original oil, made on location in a single sitting or two. Once it sells it cannot be repeated — different light, different day.

A lineage that runs to 1917
Painting in the Society of Six tradition.
Susan studied for years with Pam Glover, one of the foremost plein-air painters of Northern California. Pam herself trained four years with Lundy Siegriest, son of Louis Siegriest — an original member of the Society of Six, the Oakland-based group that, in the 1920s, invented California modernism on canvas.
The same color-forward, brushwork-first practice runs through every painting Susan makes today.

It was on her heart for weeks. She kept coming back to look at it, and finally she just had to have it.
Colorful and cheerful California — exactly the feeling I wanted on my wall. Arrived quickly, packed beautifully.
The brushwork is what does it. You walk past and feel something different every time.
