Current Exhibits

Landscapes by Susan Trotter, painter (Exhibit ends May 12)

Picture
Susan Trotter draws inspiration from her surroundings in the Virginia mountains where she lives and paints, May through October, each year.  Her winter studio is in Charlotte, North Carolina.  After graduating from Virginia Commonwealth University, Susan worked as a commercial artist in North Carolina; then as a free lance artist for several years before taking up painting.  She has never turned back. Trotter's paintings are included in many  private and corporate collections in the United States and abroad and has had numerous one person and group shows.  Ms. Trotter was owner and operator of Thistledown Farm Workshops for a number of years at her summer studio in Hot Springs, Virginia.
