Susan Bein Rosman was born in Philadelphia and received her B.S. and M.A. degrees from Temple University. Her studies have included Brentwood Art Center with Sally Lamb and workshops with Ilana Bloch, Gerald Brommer, Virginia Cobb and Franklyn Liegel. She works in watercolor and mixed media, using collage to integrate intricate patterns.

Susan’s goal is to use the transparency and clarity of watercolor to portray the delicacy of nature. She enjoys painting floral and still life subjects that offer the opportunity to use intense color. Her subjects frequently appear within a grid format and the addition of calligraphy contributes to an oriental feeling. Unusual shaped papers are often used, leading her to experiment in non-traditional formats and assisting in altering spatial concepts.
