“Jessie’s Garden” is a true-to-life depiction of Susan Kelleher’s beloved dog and her own private garden in Waterford, Virginia. This ethereal viewshed painting is a testament to the natural beauty of Virginia’s countryside. Various subtle and playful details are incorporated in this painting, whether it’s the family of deer situated along the horizon line or the squirrel spiritedly exploring the tree branches; the overall composition and color palette draw us into an enchanted moment captured through the artist’s eyes.

Since first picking up a brush as a child, Sue Kelleher has had an unconditional and deep resolve to create strong images of beauty, grace and life. Painting in oil since childhood, she has mastered the medium to create splendid Landscapes, equine and hunt scenes. Sue was born and raised in Los Angeles. She moved to the East Coast with her husband in 1980. Her training includes studying with professional artists and attending classes in various colleges around the country. She is also a highly regarded oil painting instructor. "I am simply enchanted with life and beauty and I try to capture it. I visualize my paintings as if they were alive." This decree is clear in Sue's equestrian hunt series completed after her invitation to watch the Hunts of Northern Virginia. Horses are Sue's main interest along with Victorian garden scenes and Landscapes. Sue’s works have been featured in various regional galleries, exhibits, and have been commissioned for various private collections and luxury resorts. See less
