Susi received a BS Degree from The Ohio State University in Industrial Design with the focus in Interior Space Design and became a Commercial Interior Designer and Space Planner for architectural and design firms in Columbus, Ohio and later in Dallas, Texas. In 1997 she moved, with her family, to Marlborough, MA and in 2001 returned to her passion of painting.

With her design background, Susi is currently working towards a Masters Certificate in Sustainable Design from the Boston Architectural College. She has taken the social responsibility to live a more sustainable life in an effort to make a difference in her community while increasing the quality of life for current and future generations.

Susi has always loved to paint and has used various mediums.  She loves color and texture and paints images that truly inspire her. She finds her work most rewarding when the viewer is able to experience a special sense of emotion and connection.
