Ben Pause To Ponder 12x12 Oil 2020 600

Susan E. Hanna, Fine Artist

This award-winning artist presented her art to the public in 2011 and was encouraged by the reception to make the leap to full-time work as an artist. Enjoying the challenge and immediacy of working en plein air, Susan creates many paintings on site. She’s earned a reputation for using lush greens and vibrant blues.

The artist chooses to work in oil because it appears to be alive in the way that the colors continue to blend and change as they dry. She provides summer en plein air painting demonstrations throughout New England and has earned numerous awards in both juried and non-juried fine art competitions.

The artist runs her studio in Dover, New Hampshire where she also provides lessons to students of all ages and abilities.
