About Susan Reich:
A mathematics major and career woman, found herself forced into retirement when her husband was transferred to Singapore. Looking for something to keep busy, she volunteered to work at the Singapore Art Museum. Studying art history, as part of the training she became fascinated by how to create art. Being close to that magical age of 50, she thought she was too old to learn to paint. A few years of study with a couple of master Chinese Brush Painters, and classes at Nanyang University of Art has brought a unique vision to her paintings. She now resides in Texas and is still studying and painting. Her watercolors, oils and acrylic paintings have found homes in many different states.
After turning 70, due to various medical reasons, Susan could not stand at her easel to paint. When her husband, Bob, saw how she missed painting, he bought her an IPad and Procreate (a digital painting program). Susan was amazed at the results. It was just like painting an oil on canvas, but she could do it in her easy chair.
“Painting on a screen is so much like painting on a canvas or paper. You choose what medium you want to recreate, then pick the brushes, pencil, or even charcoal to work with that medium. Next you choose a color pallet to work with. Now it is time to create, using the same techniques.”
Susan says that she may be getting older, but she will never stop learning. Each new painting is a learning experience.
Adults and High School age students are welcome!
