Susan received her Bachelor of Science in Art and Elementary Education form Peabody College.   Presently she is a Professor of Education at Volunteer State Community College. She has attended various watercolor workshops at Arrowmont and studied with Harold Miller and Joe Miller. Her main medium is watercolor although she occasionally works with pastels, colored pencils and oil. She has had one man shows at Cheekwood, Vanderbilt University Club, Monthaven, Bookstar Book Store and Govans. She accepts commissioned work for painting portraits from photographs. For more information regarding commissioned portraits and classes contact Susan at Profess0@comcast.net. Susan is a member of the Monthaven Art Society and the Tennessee Art Guild. She teaches watercolor classes at  the Hendersonville Arts Council at Monthaven, the Old Hickory Arts Center, and private lessons in her home. While I am mostly self taught through trial and error, my greatest growth has come from teaching classes. I am thankful to my students who keep me moving to try new approaches and break down the painting process for

beginners and challenge the intermediate student.
