ABOUT SUSAN BELL

Biography

Susan Bell has been working as a professional artist since 1997.  A Colorado native, and horsewoman, she is best known for her impressionistic western landscapes, wildlife and animal portraits.  Her love of nature and  painting en plein air allows her to capture the essence of the moment and the unique personality of the subjects.  She brings this focus on light and movement into her larger studio work, resulting in paintings that speak to the viewer with lush color, dimension and energy.
