Susan has lived in Plaistow since 1976. She began painting three years ago at the age of 62 and she paints almost every day. She has used pastels and watercolors, but prefers painting in oils. Her favorite style is still life, but her display this month at the library includes European street scenes, rowboats and canoe scenes and a few seascapes.
