Other influences include post-impressionist and early modernist painters, both French and English. From New Zealand, Frances Hodgkins and from America, Joan Mitchell and Helen Frankenthaler.Susan’s exhibition history dates from the early 1990s and she has exhibited regularly, both in solo and group shows since then. Works are held in collections in New Zealand, Australia and abroad.Studio visits are welcome at her home on the Coromandel Peninsula. Please phone first to arrange a time – 027 6387 695.
