Susie works in oil and acrylic and enjoys painting in both the impressionistic style and the realism style. Her paintings are in the collection at Midwestern University in Phoenix and in museums in Texas and Taiwan.

 "I very much enjoy knife painting because of the "carving" of the paint, but also love the subtlety  of brush strokes. Landscapes and gardens are my favorite subjects."
