Sue’s God-given talent was apparent at a very young age.

She had her first oil painting lesson at the age of eight.  She

continued studying with other local artists thru her high school

years.  She later studied under master artists Oscar Durand and

Numael Pulido.  She was taught the method called “Chiaroscuro”

which dramatically uses a strong source of light to emphasize a

painting’s center of interest. Also important was the ability to

create a mood and luminosity. Realism is what she strives for as

she paints in a style referred to as "Trompe L'oeil".

Sue continues to paint in oil and also pastel.  Her goal is to stay

diverse in subject matter whether a portrait, landscape or still

life while showing a consistent style throughout.

Sue is presently represented by Maine-Art Gallery in Kennebunk,

ME as well as other local NH galleries. She was published

In the Nov-2000 issue of Pastel Artist International and in the June-

July issue of International Artist Magazine. She has also been featured

in several other publications and has been the recipient of numerous

Best in Show and First Place awards throughout her lifetime. Her work

is in collections all over the U.S. A recent piece titled “ The Long Ride

Home” was selected as a finalist in the portrait and figure category of

the 2006 Artist’s Magazine National Competition. 

Sue and her husband of 28 years presently reside in Goffstown, NH.
