Susan Bourdet

Representative: Wild Wings, Inc.

Susan Bourdet grew up in western Montana, learning early to love nature. Her luminous watercolors combine realistically detailed birds and animals with soft, impressionistic backgrounds, a technique she has evolved through twenty years of painting. She discovered watercolor at twelve, being captivated by a local artist's demonstration. She majored in art and biology, her two great loves, while in college at Montana State. After graduation in 1972, she struggled to find a way to combine her two interests, working as an artist for a ceramics company and later as a pharmacy technician. Additional Biographc Information.
