Talbot Fine Art and Portraits   Page

Susan received her formal art education at Marymount Manhattan College in New York City, where she studied both fine and commercial art. She credits Luzerne Odell for giving her a solid foundation, by drawing the figure from life and by introducing her to the techniques of oil painting.

Susan began her career as a freelancer and staff commercial artist in New York. She has worked as a fine artist since 1987 and has painted commissioned portraits since 1994; her subjects for commissioned work have come from the medical, legal, judicial, political, and business fields, as well as from families across America. Her portraits and still-life paintings are in public and private collections throughout New York, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee and Texas.

Susan's work has been featured in solo, group, and juried shows at the National Arts Club and the Salmagundi Club in New York City, the Patio Azul Gallery in Arizona, the Art Museum of Western Virginia in Roanoke, the Lynchburg Academy of Fine Arts, the Academy Center of the Arts, the Shenandoah Valley Art Center in Waynesboro, VA, and in Parkersburg, West Virginia.

Susan is a member of the Portrait Society of America, Allied Artists of America, the Academy Center of the Arts, and is listed in Marquis Who’s Who of American Women.
