About
Between 1964 and 2016, Susan Connell’s paintings and drawings have appeared in galleries, in galleried shows, at schools, colleges and universities and at other venues in Southern California. Her works are included in numerous private collections.
Over the years her works have had a great diversity of expression. In her early career she created numerous portraits and floral compositions. At one time or another, Ms. Connell has worked in most of the recognized artists' media. Recently, though, she has concentrated on her drawings.
Ms. Connell is a 1963 graduate of Colorado Women’s College, where she received a BA degree, and a 1965 graduate of the Claremont Graduate School, where she studied under Phil Dike and Paul Darrow and received an MFA degree. She has taught studio classes and art history at schools and in private classes. For a number of years she has worked with guidance from Tom Wudl, a well-known West Coast master painter, gathering with other artists in his studio.
