the world. Because now, the Internet and social media and these online marketplaces, means that you can reach a wide audience of art buyers. People are home staring at their walls and not spending money on holidays or anything else right now, so there’s money burning holes in their pockets— and they buy art. All you have to do is make sure that you’re where they’re looking and put yourself out there. Daks : So how many countries have you sold to internationally? Susan : I’ve sold to China, England, Portugal, Sweden, Singapore, Germany, Belgium, and all over the States. One collector bought 22 pieces! Daks : And you had a painting in a movie. Susan : I’ve had a few! Daks : I remember you posted the one with Diane Keaton’s The Book Club. Susan : Artspace warehouse in LA leases my artwork out to movie sets, where a piece from one series was seen multiple times in Diane Keaton’s house. I also do a lot of commissions. I have paintings at a hotel in Palm Springs, Claridge House in Chicago, a hotel in Singapore, an art boutique hotel in Detroit.
Modern Soul - Catwalk Collection by Susan
I have sold a good majority with Saatchi Art. I’d like to mention them in the article because they have been awesome to work with. It was Rebecca Wilson who recommended my works for the art hotel in Detroit. I have also sold works through Saatchi Art to Jimmy O. Yang from Space Force on Netflix and Jian Yang on Silicon Valley as well as Joshua Conkel, the writer for Netflix’s The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina the Teenage Witch. Daks : That must be the dream of any artist, to actually earn a living doing what you love and not having to do some bullshit job just to pay the rent. Susan : I don’t think there’s a day that goes by, I don’t realise just how grateful I am. Daks : Thank you both! I think that’s a good place to wrap, and great to see you both again. Let’s do this more often!
