Art Market "Artist of the Month" for April

Our Art Market "Artist of the Month" for April is painter Susan Eatmon. 


Susan is a graphic designer who always loved painting. She mostly painted murals over the years while working. She finally made the joyous leap to full time professional artist in 2020 while taking the “Milan Art Institute Mastery Program”.

Susan loves expressing herself through paintings that evoke a connection to nature, history, music and one another, for we are all connected in some way. 

She enjoys creating in her studio with a gorgeous view of trees, a creek with a bridge, and animals scurrying around. She switches over to the right side of her brain while listening to a wide variety of music as she paints and time and space disappear.
