    Notify Me About New Artwork by this Artist​

    Susiehyer has been drawing and painting since she was a child. "I remember drawing a pair of ceramic flamingos my mother used to keep on her dining room table when I was four years old", she says. "I knew from that moment I would be an artist when I grew up."

     


    Attending art programs at Moravian College, The Baum School of Art, and the University of West Florida in the 1970's, she continues to study and expand her repertoire and abilities, attending the Art Students League of Denver and participating in workshops whenever she can, with artists such as Quang Ho, Kim English, Jay Moore, and Kevin Weckbach. In 2001, she completed the Denver Botanical Gardens Certificate in Botanical Art and Illustration.

     


    This award-winning artist has been working professionally since 1976 and has been the recipient of a number of scholarships, grants, and awards for her work, including two international design awards. Her work has appeared in numerous galleries and national exhibitions, hangs in many private and corporate collections, and has been published in the celebrated book "Landscapes of Colorado", Southwest Art Magazine and Fine Art Connoisseur Magazine as a feature artist, on the covers of Art Life, Evergreen Living, and Mountain Country Life. Most recently she was included in the American Art Collector Series of books. She has been a National Vice President of the Women's Caucus for Art, President of the New Orleans Chapter, and is involved in several other professional organizations such as Plein Air Artist of Colorado and Oil Painters of America.

     


    Susiehyer is represented by several galleries along the Front Range. Her work can be seen in many private and corporate collections. She maintains a home, studio, and multiple gardens in Evergreen, Colorado where she lives with her husband, sometimes one or two grown children, two cats and numerous elk, deer, and other wildlife. She continues to push herself in new directions and challenge herself artistically, traveling to paint en plein air, and working from sketches, field studies, and photos in the studio. Recent painting trips include Mexico, Tahiti, Hawaii, Corsica, France, Taos, Rocky Mountain National Park, Portugal, California, and the New Jersey Coast. She teaches workshops out of her studio in Evergreen and is an invited juror for local and and national exhibits.
