<b>About the Artist:</b>
While Susan Downing-White was born in Chicago, her family traces its southern roots to an ancestor who arrived in Virginia from England in the 17th century. A portrait of another ancestor inspired her to begin drawing and painting in high school. That portrait is in her home today and reflects Susan's interest in traditional oil painting. Paintings by Susan Downing-White can be found in private, government and corporate collections throughout the United States. She studied art at Auburn University in Auburn, Alabama in the late 1970s and later earned a B.F.A. degree from the University of South Alabama. For three years, she worked part-time in New Orleans as assistant to an art conservator, where she had the privilege of spending hours at the easel studying some wonderful paintings while repairing lost paint. Today Susan lives and works in Mobile, Alabama.
An article about Susan Downing-White's work appears in the June 2009 issue of American Artist magazine. Also on the horizon: a future exhibition of Susan's paintings at the Mobile Museum of Art.
