I've been a painter and "drawer" all my life. I was born and grew up in Ohio, winning an all-Ohio painting award when I was 12. Previously, I worked in watercolor--painting florals and lots of tomatoes (as I said, I'm a native Ohioan, where we grew the best tomatoes!) Now living in Santa Cruz, CA, I'm a member of the Santa Cruz Art League, Pacific Art League, (Palo Alto, CA) and my work is exhibited throughout the Santa Cruz and Monterey County areas, including as featured artist for First Friday exhibitions. My work is also in private collections.

Awards and  juried shows include the Pacific Art League, Santa Cruz Art League, Light Space Gallery, Fusion Art "Women Artists" and "Figures and Faces" exhibitions (Sept. 15-Dec. 31, 2020), poster and exhibitor for the Pacific Art League's 99th Celebration Exhibition, October, 2020, Pacific Arts Network, (featured artist), and the Visual Artists' Network (virtual Santa Cruz Open Studios), visualartsnetworkscc.com/listing/susan-brown-fine-art/

I was invited to represent the United States at the Venice, Italy, Biennale Exhibition of Contemporary Art in 2011.
