Winter's Reflection Painting

Susie Y. Anderson has been described as a “Pacific Colorist” with her own distinctive impressionistic style. She is a devoted and prolific oil painter, and is especially passionate about painting outdoors from life as a plein air artist. For her, this approach to creating art not only vitalizes but renews her painting instincts by the many challenges it presents. An acclaimed landscape and marine artist, she finds broad inspiration for her work ranging from the dramatic sea and landscapes of her home in Hawaii to depicting the light and color of the vast farmlands and snow-covered mountains of her second home in Park City, Utah, and beyond. Susie is a Signature Member of the American Society of Marine Artists (ASMA.)  She is a Founding Signature Member of the Plein Air Painters of Hawaii (PAPOH), and a Member of Oil Painters of America (OPA). She has won six Best-of-Show honors for her work in juried shows, and her paintings are found in numerous private and corporate collections world-wide. Susie has lived in Hawaii since 1969 and is a graduate of the University of Southern California, holding degrees in fine arts and medical illustration. Susie worked for the University of Hawaii John. A. Burns School of Medicine as a medical illustrator for 14 years. She then formed her own litigation graphics company, Visually Speaking Inc, providing graphic support for attorneys and expert witnesses for over 1200 trials, mediations, and arbitrations. She pivoted to fine art painting full-time in 2001 and hasn't looked back since.
