  Susan King is a 30 year resident of the Murphys and Arnold areas. Now retired from full-time teaching, she has realized exciting new times to focus on her exploration of the visual arts. The wonder of the natural world, which surrounds the Sierra foothills and beyond, is her inspiration.



  Susan uses a variety of mediums and techniques to create unique emotional connections within her work. Water color, pastels, rice and collage papers and printer’s inks are some of the essential components of many of her pieces. “Every painting is a continual learning experience for me, considering the interaction of composition, design and color and materials. The process can be most humbling and exhilarating.”
