Susan Trisko was born and grown in rural Oregon.  Her attention and incipient talent were first kindled as a young girl when, upon acquiring her first paint set, she set to rendering the animals and natural life around her.  Her subjects of interest have never changed.  Susan has studied under a myriad of teachers, including Gary Pruner and Abraham Nussbaum.  style and medium has ranged over the years from realism to photo realism to realist impressionism; primarily oil, pencil and pastel.  She resides today amidst the evergreens of northern Washington with her husband and sizable menagerie of semi-domesticated pets.
