Among colleagues, Suzy hart is most admired for the unique way she paints eyes. Her likenesses are strikingly true, but in addition, Hart involves her emotional resources to find subtle character and dramatic intensity, applying a wealth of knowledge and sensitivity to create a real a “present” feel in the gaze of the sitter, an evocation consciousness and intelligence, an effect of aliveness.

Suzy is a Master Portrait Painter, sculptor and illustrator, whose profession as an artist began at age seventeen. Suzy Hart was born in Devonshire, England in 1956 and spent her childhood in Montreal, Canada and Greenville, SC. Her English father was a veteran of the Second World War.

She is represented by the Swain Galleries in New Jersey, and J.N.
