Susan is a keen observer of children, known for her international portraits of children done in the style of impressionism, and which tell a story or in some way express an element in the life of a child or of children.

Usually drawing on her own international work with children, and photos taken during her trips, Susan occasionally accepts commissions. Prices range from $1500 to $4000 depending on size, complexity, and number of people in the painting, and will take up to a year to complete. All paintings were made from Susan's photographs unless otherwise credited.

As each limited edition fine art print becomes available a link will be added beneath the picture on this page. More detailed information about the paintings will also be added so please check back.
