Suzanne Hemphill paints for the joy of taking a blank canvas and creating something beautiful.  Her painting style leans very slightly toward the impressionistic as she attempts to project the feeling the subject imparts to her.  She paints primarily in oils, and her subject matter is greatly varied.  She constantly strives to experiment with techniques, color and artistic interpretations.  She has lived in various and varied areas of Texas and has traveled and painted in many areas of the United States and Europe.

Suzanne began painting in Houston, Texas, under the tutelage of the late Dick Turner.  Since that time, she has studied with nationally known artists such as Ann Templeton, William Reese, Bob Rohm and DeBob Jacob.  Suzanne spent time living and painting with other artists in the South of France, and traveled in a number of European countries with instructors Dick Turner and Dr. Pablo Bobbio.  She studied and painted with the Alla Prima International painters at La Romita School of Art in Terni, Italy, and continues to study in classes and workshops with noted artists who are able to challenge her.

Suzanne holds memberships in a number of art organizations.  She is a member of Alla Prima International, The National Federation of American Pen Women, a charter member of "The Fort Worth Fifteen," and is active in the prestigious Woman's Club of Forth Worth Art Department.

Suzanne has won numerous ribbons and awards, including "Best of Show."  As a member of Alla Prima International, her work is featured in the organization's shows held at noted galleries throughout the United States.  She exhibits regularly in galleries and shows with a group of professional artists known as "The Fort Worth Fifteen," as well as with the "American Pen Women" and the "Woman's Club of Fort Worth."  She has also had a number of one- and two-woman shows in the Fort Worth, Dallas, and Houston areas.  She is represented by Monticello Gallery in Dallas.  Examples of her work can be seen on the Alla Prima International website:  www.allaprimainternational.com.
