Prior to the pandemic shutdown, I loved taking occasional group art classes – painting, drawing, sketching from a model, traveling to weekend workshops, museum school classrooms, etc. So I braced myself for a long period of solitude after the shutdown was put in place . Then after a month my favorite artist\/instructor in New Haven CT contacted his students about zoom classes! A few months later another artist in Richmond VA (with whom my cousin had studied) announced his zoom class “How to quickly capture color and light in oil”. Wow! I could safely take these exciting classes right in my own home studio!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And so this past year I explored new approaches to drawing, painting, & multimedia in Lenny Moskowitz’s playful classes, as well as learned the fundamentals of capturing a still life’s realistic light & color in oil paint within a 2 hour constraint in David Tanner weekly zooms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I “met” fellow artists from many regions up and down the east coast as we all shared and critiqued one another’s work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the exception of the watercolor still life, the work displayed here represents the silver lining of the pandemic for me, exploring new dimensions in my art from my home studio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Susan was honored with a first place ribbon at the FAA’s Spring 2026 show with “Snowy River”:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
