The Chronicle of the Horse





About a month ago I received an email from Beth Rasin, Executive
Editor of a wonderful magazine called The Chronicle of the Horse stating that she came across my website and fell in love with my work! She asked if she might feature me along with a painting in the Art Gallery section of the September 10/17th issue! You can imagine how excited I was and sent her several photos and my bio. They featured my painting "The Principle of Uncertainty" and published the article above and I am so happy. It's extra special when something like this happens "out of the blue". Thank you to Beth for selecting my work to be featured in this exquisite publication and to Production Manager Lauren Maruskin for the fine layout and copy.

    1. Its so amazing when that happens. My gallery picked me up the same way - the owner saw my website and contacted me asking if she could represent me. Its a good thing as I am hopeless at the business of art. :)

  9. I almost missed this one, Susan, really glad I didn't.

    I'm glad that the rest of the world is catching me up in recognising you as a world-class painter.
    I'm sure the world is going to be approaching you - so I wouldn't bother too much about marketing. Just note the date I said this!!

    I'm really 'over-the-moon' for you ... well done ...well deserved!!!
