While preferring to paint in watercolor, Susan enjoys occasionally painting in oil, and is also pursuing pastel painting. Photography has always been a favorite passion and helps to keep her inspired. In her spare time, you will find her exploring the lovely coastal wetlands on foot and bicycle in the beautiful areas of Bayville with a camera in hand, or painting plein air on the beach. Susan also designs jewelry which she sells at local craft shows.

Susan is employed as a an award winning graphic designer in Princeton, NJ. She was exposed to art as a young child, while watching and being instructed by her German Grandfather’s painting. Susan has been painting watercolors since Catholic grammar school, where the nuns thought it was an excellent discipline to paint one watercolor every week.

After graduating from College with an Advertising Design Degree, where she also studied textile art and painting, she has continued to paint in both watercolor and oils. Susan paints mostly landscapes of coastal areas and natural areas that surround her homes in Hamilton Twp NJ and Bayville’s coastal area of the Barnegat Bay.
