Hunterdon County artist Susan Blubaugh started her career as an illustrator and painter. She studied with noted instructors Isaac Soyer, Harvey Dinnerstein, Burton Silverman and Hilary Holmes at the Arts Students League and the National Academy of Design. Her studies included working with noted landscape painter Curtis Hanson in Litchfield, Connecticut.
Susan moved from New York City to the Delaware River Valley in 2001 where she continues to paint portraits, still life and scenic landscapes of Hunterdon County, New Jersey and Bucks County, Pennsylvania, home to the New Hope School of the Pennsylvania Impressionists. Coupling the magnificent vistas with Susan’s superior technical ability and her eye for telling details that encapsulate the scene she has created individual paintings that singularly speak to the region and her mastery of her craft.
Susan received the Award for Best Traditional Oil Painting at the 78th Phillips Mill Annual Fall Exhibition in 2007. Also in 2007 she received an Honorable Mention at the Bucks County Plein Air Paint Out. She participated in the invitation only Plein Air Easton, Maryland competition, limited to 53 artists. Susan was the recipient of the Woolverton Award in 2006 at the Hunterdon County Cultural and Heritage Commission Exhibit at the Prallsville Mill in Stockton, New Jersey. She also exhibited at the Lambertville Historical Society’s juried show in 2006 and 2007. In 2008 she received Honorable Mention at the Philadelphia Sketch Club Art of the Flower Show Exhibit and the Traditional Bucks County Landscape Award at the 79th Phillips Mill Annual Fall Exhibition for her painting, “Stamets Meadow, Autumn”,
