About Me
Susan McConnell Moreno's studio provides an unique window into her world. Feathers, twigs, and flowers lie amongst tubes of oil and watercolors. Sketches, photographs and workflow charts are displayed on her project wall. It is here, to the melodies of classical music, this artist turns blank canvas into vivid scenes of her natural environment.
Susan showed an early interest in art and began developing her skills at a young age. She was one of those fortunate individuals whose life experiences blended with her college studies to define her artistic career. "I find it so natural to combine my art with my life long love of the outdoors. I like painting wildlife and nature because it is always a changing scene. It's a neverending challenge to bring the subjects to life on canvas."
Her northern California property is dotted with ponds and woodlands, providing vast and varied subject matter. It is Susan's detailed, realistic style in watermedia or oil that makes her wildlife and bontanical studies so popular. Her paintings often require hundreds of hours of work and the results make her hard work well worth the effort. Susan decribes her technique as representational to realism with impressionistic blending. She is equally adept in her ability to create minutely detailed wildlife illustrations to commissioned vast large-scaled murals. She is represented in many corporate and private collections thoughout the United States and has received numerous awards for her work.
