Susan Kendall Fine Art

 I was always an artist but only began to  call myself one  in 1994 after moving to California from Pennsylvania. I entered my first professional art contest  in 1995  and won a prize and since then have been selling and showing my work.  I took up "plein air" painting in 2008 and I was hooked. "Plein air" was termed by the French artists that set up a studio on location in the open air and quickly painted their impression of the scene. I was encouraged by teachers along the way including the late Pam Glover "plein  air" painter. I am also a  member of the "Glover Group" which I helped to formalize in 2011. My work can be seen in many places around the country and in France.  I live in the Sierra Foothills, a painter's paradise. 

Painting on location in the beautiful countryside is my inspiration. I am inspired by glorious creation including people and animals. Trees and old buildings are always a favorite of mine too.
