Susan Himmel is a watercolorist and mixed media painter living in Albany, NY. She is a life-long art enthusiast, but it wasn't until 2006 that she fell in love with painting while attending Kripalu Center's program, "Painting and Yoga in the Berkshires". She went on to study drawing and painting at Berkshire Art School and at regional workshops during the 12 years she lived in the Berkshires. Susan finds inspiration for her work in the hill towns, the deep forests, wildflower paths, mountain creeks, river rocks and the open sky. Nature is always changing providing endless splendor.

Susan attributes painting to changing her life, saying "As a result of my journey as a painter, the way I experience the world has shifted. Painting has become my looking glass, my means of examining life inside and out. Art is alchemy; it changes individual lives and whole communities for the better." 
 
Her work has been featured in solo and group shows in galleries and in non-traditional settings primarily in the Northeast, especially in the Berkshires and in the Capital District. Susan's paintings also hang in a number of private collections here and abroad. New works are always being created. Check back here or follow on social media for latest updates.
