Susan Hazard

Susan Hazard has immersed herself in creativity since her earliest years. After varied experiences in employment she completed a Bachelor of Arts degree at the University of California, Santa Barbara in 1990. Travels nationwide and abroad led to discovering the natural beauty of Ireland, and she moved from her hometown of Santa Barbara, California to County Mayo, Ireland in 1991.

During her residence in the west of Ireland for over three years, Susan expanded her painting technique into oils with palette painting knives, and the impasto paintings have been shown in numerous solo art exhibitions and a number of group shows. Susan also organized and taught classes for adults.

A return to the United States in 1994 led to group and solo shows in California and continuing gallery representation and painting workshops in Ireland. After a move to the Pacific Northwest in 2005, Susan has been involved group and solo shows for her paintings in Port Townsend, Edmonds, and Tacoma, Washington.

Susan is currently traveling to Ireland and Italy, expanding her exuberant color skills into painting on silk and planning more workshops. She is currently exhibiting her vibrant and colorful seascapes, landscapes, and gardens in Washington State and the Kenny Gallery in County Galway, Ireland.

Susan Hazard paintings are in collections in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Europe.
