Biography
Susan
F. Greaves is a Louisiana native and Meanwhile, she painted occasionally and took every history of art course available to her. She returned to painting in Seattle under the instruction of William F. Reese in 1976. His unwavering dedication to the foundational concepts of painting and to integrity set the direction and standard for her subsequent work. After moving to Redding, California, in 1977, she studied with the acclaimed Sergei Bongart in Idaho and Los Angeles as a scholarship student. Through him, the influence of the Russian Impressionists is evident in her work.
Her life-long fascination with horses has found expression in equine subjects. Ranching scenes, horse shows and eventing, and the memorable views of her adopted landscape and frequent travels provide constant visual stimulation.
