Susan Bell

I grew up in Colorado and as far back as I can remember I have spent most of my time riding horses and making art.

I think my desire to paint came from my love of the varied and beautiful western landscapes and animals.

I love to paint from life because it is multi dimensional. there is nothing better to me than setting up an easel in front of a horse ,cow or Bison and seeing what happens. I love to depict relationships between animals and Ultimately I think my work is a reflection of hours spent painting from life and watching behavior, movement and light in the process.
