BEHIND THE PAINTBRUSH. . . .

Susan is an artist based in Inlet Beach,Florida.  Originally from Mobile, Alabama and southwest Georgia, she moved to Inlet Beach in 2021 after living in Antwerp, Belgium and Shanghai, China.  Her art career began in 2005 as a form of personal healing after the loss of her first husband.   What started as therapy soon led to selling her work in galleries, shops, and her home studio.   

 

In 2015, Susan married Kerry Hill and moved to Belgium, where she studied at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts for three years and attended workshops in Italy and France.  Her mixed media work ranges from abstract to representational, often reflecting themes of faith and hope.  Her "Line of Faith" series is inspired by Hebrews 11:1.  

Her work has been featured in Mobile Bay Monthly and shown across the U.S., Europe, and Asia.  She's been active in art associations and charity events, including fundraisers for cancer research and outreach organizations.  You can view her work at Blue Giraffe and her home studio in Inlet Beach.  

Susan also creates commissions for homes, businesses and gifts.
