After painting in Central Park, at the South Street Seaport, and doing copies and gallery scenes in the Metropolitan Museum, I came up to the Rivertowns and fell in love with them. My art technique is traditional oil painting with an emphasis on color, light, and emotional nuance. I studied painting at a variety of […]
SUNDAY only I seek to create work that transcends its source to form a new reference to a visionary landscape. The power of the natural environment is a continuing source of inspiration.I create layered landscape images with multiple realities that progress from the real into abstraction and a fusion of the two. They are expanded […]
SATURDAY only My recent work is a series called Dialogues of Color, which looks at the relationships of colors and emotions. From an early age we develope color preferences, formed by personal experiences and cultural norms. We feel and react to color. Our color associations can sustain throughout our lives. I hope you visit my […]
My world is of earth and spirit. Nature is at once a deep source of inspiration, and a comforting healer. More than anything, the quality of light which radiates from and about the subject is what I am moved to capture. I try to express the essence – the spirit of a place, a person, […]
For years I have been taking photographic notes that serve as a collective library of imagery to draw upon when creating paintings. The light always has this extraordinary way of changing the reality of what I am photographing, always suggesting transformation and a sense of an extended moment in time. The objects that catch this […]
I paint in an unheated studio which at night takes on the atmosphere of a space capsule. I am alone and would like to have something outside myself draw the marks that open a portal. The important part is letting the mind submit and the body direct the marks being made inside each layer of […]
As a fine artist, Susan places color on paper, seeking calm, clarity and perspective. She has developed a distinct mosaic-style watercolor technique -pure color on paper.. This technique, as demonstrated in her most recent work, has evolved to create images of deceptively rich complexity. Creating images and impressions has been Susan’s occupation and obsession for […]
Susan Richman Photography “I am an interpreter of what surrounds me”, and the camera is my instrument of choice. It affords a unique way to see my world and to reveal what is found in my imagination. Both in my series Ephemeral and my yet-to-be- titled latest series are created using unorthodox materials that are […]
I make drawings and site-specific installations for private, commercial, and alternative settings. I prefer to work in the architecture of the everyday—on the walls, windows, and doors that often go unnoticed or ignored until I leave abstract traces in an explosion of color, natural light or, text. My work is as likely to include a message as […]
The Pre Raphaelites have always been a source of inspiration and admiration to me. I have the utmost respect for those artists whose mission was to bring beauty and spiritualism to a 19th Century Industrial Age England. My work comes from a place of marrying wit with classical as well as mystical elements to create […]
It’s been two years since my last studio tour and during that time I’ve continued to paint improvisations, some more figurative than others. I’ve also revisited sculpture with a series of small scale works, often humorous. In addition I continue to fabricate woodworking projects for fun and profit. This year Jazz Forum will be hosting […]

This year, I’ve been particularly captured by the building up and tearing down of the Tappan Zee Bridge. A benefit cruise held by Groundworks* took us under the bridge, where you could see both the old and new structures and the lines drawn by the new cables and supports. I saw similar elements in NYC, with […]
