About the artist

 

 Five years in New York City

From 1999 to 2004 Susannah had a studio and home in New York.  Although she regularly travelled back to England for painting commissions, teaching appointments and exhibitions, and also travelled internationally, she completed many portrait commissions in New York.  Her time in New York was a hallmark in her painting career where she studied, taught, exhibited and continued to develop her work with the ideas inspired by American artists and clients.
