About the Artist & Portrait Painter
Suzana Achey has had a life long interest in artistic portraiture. To her,
each portrait is an opportunity to express the unique spirit of the individual and to
bring joy to others. As a young woman, Suzana attended the Art & Design School
(NYC) and studied life drawing at the Parson School of Design (NYC). Even though
she loved being an artist, Suzana was not sure she wanted to pursue a career in art.
She had a desire to do something that would make a positive difference in the lives
of others. Therefore, she chose to study Psychology and afterwards started her
career in Human Services working with people that faced developmental, mental
and emotional challenges. Her artwork took a backseat for many years. In 2001,
Suzana rediscovered the joy she feels when drawing, and eventually developed
her talents enough to start accepting portrait commissions, first in charcoal and ink,
then pastel, and most recently she started oil painting. The artist found the most
rewarding part of drawing or painting for others is when it brings them joy or peace.
This often happens when a commission is requested as a special gift for someone or
a portrait of a loved one that had passed on. With the work she does, Suzana
connects with people on a spiritual level and focuses on service to others. She has
discovered that there are always opportunities to positively touch the lives of others
in the work that one does if it is done with love.
“It is great if you love what you do, but even more important is
that you do it with love.”
