Biography from Long Gallery:
| Susan Diehl was born on July 20th, 1957 in Sheboygan Wisconsin. It was in the pursuit of her drawing where she found solace and joy. Susan studied fine art at the University of Wisconsin but has felt her studies really began when she met Ron Lukas, director at Dream Works Studio.
She studied in the Russian Impressionist style and was learned painting skills in the time-honored tradition, mentor to student. For seven years, Susan studied painting while painting signs and raising their three children with her husband, Douglas. Susan continued to hone her skills studying with great artist such as Bill Reese and Del Gish.
"Painting is an extension of who I am - a collection of my past experiences and my future dreams. I keep trying to make all of my work as true as I can, not in the photographic sense, but in how I see life. My Goal as a painter is simple: to paint pictures in order to communicate timeless moments."
Susan's subject matter is inspired by man's interaction with nature and the capturing of special archetypal moments in time. Many times a hint of the human element will creep into a landscape, a boat by the pond, or a wheel-barrel in the field. She is keenly interested in color and light, shape and pattern. Susan''s versatility and knowledge allows her to paint whatever subject she wishes, from still life and landscape to her favorite, figures interacting with their environment.
