Susie seized the opportunity to take up art after retiring from teaching sixth grade several years ago. She started in watercolor, but has branched into work in most all media.She and her husband, Larry, created the art center Town Hall Arts in Copperopolis where she has enjoyed classes by many foothill artists over the last decade.From pastels to mosaics, she is always eager to learn something new.She also teaches beginning art in all media and sells her artwork and photographs at Galerie Copper in Town Hall Arts.
Taking great pleasure in painting with others, Susie fills the calendar at Town Hall Arts with a variety of classes and activities. Artists regularly come from distant towns to paint with friends at Copper Town Square, which has become a hub for artists both in the hills and the valley.Town Hall Arts moved to a new location on the north side of the square this year, with classes continuing next door in The Courthouse, Copper Town Square’s meeting hall.Susie has also organized painting trips from Copperopolis to art workshops in France, Ireland, Croatia, and Maine.
Susie has received numerous top awards in shows throughout Northern California.Her work has been published in several books, covers of art show programs and TV guides, and local newspapers.
