Susan was born on July 20th, 1957 in Sheboygan, WI. From little on, Susan Diehl found a place in drawing she could go for solace and joy. It is from this place that she paints today. Although she studied fine art at the University of Wisconsin, she felt her studies began in earnest when she met Ron Lukas (now art director at Dream Works Studio) and studied in the Russian impressionist style, learning painting skills in the time-honored tradition- mentor to student. For seven years, Susan studied painting while painting signs and raising their children with her husband, Douglas. Susan continued to hone her skills studying with great artists such as Bill Reese and Del Gish. Susan’s subject matter tend to be inspired by mans interaction with nature and the capturing of special archetypal moments in time. Many times a hint of the humans’ element will creep into a landscape, a boat by a pond, or a wheel-barrel in the field. She is keenly interested in color and light, shape and pattern. Susan’s versatility and knowledge allows her to paint whatever she wishes, from still life and landscape to her favorite, figures interacting with their environment.
Artist Statement
“Painting is an extension of who I am – a collection of my past experiences and my future dreams I love cooking and having a lot of people over for dinner because I like sharing good food and good company. I don’t like dishes, however, so everyone helps. I like going to garage sales, using the excuse I am looking for still life setup stuff, but really it is because I love treasure hunting”.
