about the artist---

I am Susan Barackman, artist. 100% Italian heritage, born in Long Island NY, raised in Calif. and living over 35 years in Texas. I teach art for my day job.  I have been drawing since age 4, selling my art door to door as a teen. I have a long suffering husband of over 3 decades, several cats (most rescues)  a dog and 3 horses, all that have contributed to his longsuffering!

 

100% feedback on ebay.  Since Nov. 2010, I have sold nearly 100 pieces of art!  Hope to sell some here.

 

Below is a list of artistic accomplishments- (No, not tons of awards in art shows even thought I have my share of those) but the accomplishments of a real working artist plying their trade since childhood.

* bill board signs           * pet food package art          * stagecoach on a bus for a country western singer

* feedbag art                * pet and people portraits     * award-winning realistic paintings                                         

* western art                  * landscapes                         * abstract art

* commercial art            * billboard sign painting        * murals in churches

* business logos            * cat toy package art            * rodeo scenes at arenas

I don't hold to the old saying of "being able to sell ice to Eskimos". I prefer to let "the images speak for themselves!" and clients will buy what appeals to them, not what they are talked into that they will regret later. Satisfaction guaranteed.    

 

Favorite subjects are horses but am proficient in many areas including landscapes, pet portraits, wildlife, commercial art and other things.

 

 I work in acrylic, graphite, watercolor, colored pencil and an occasional oil painting.

 

Art styles range from realistic to abstract and my art resides in homes around the world.

 

AND I OWN AND SHOW HORSES!

Frequently Asked Questions

 

Why do you charge so little for your original art? 
I have been asked that question many times by professional artists who see that I am able to paint on the same level at they do. I wish I could charge as much as some equine artists who make their living selling art. And that is one of the answers. I teach art at a middle school and do my art on the side. I do not have to make a living at it. So I can afford to offer my art at lesser prices. And many people cannot afford to buy what many professional artists charge. So I fill a niche. I also live in a town where art is more of a luxury than necessity. Many of them think art from Walmart is fine art. Finally, here on ebay there is the competition. There are so many foreign art sellers offering art for 1 cent, charging $39 S/H for an image (most likely used without permission from the creating artist) painted on paper thin canvas that is not even stretched. Would you buy if I charged more?

Why do you paint in so many styles?
I am an artist and I am constantly evolving, changing and developing my art. In teaching art, I also learn new things about art history, famous artists, styles, etc. All these come into play as I do my art. All these factors come into play that affect my creations, be they realistic, folk art, cubist or other genres.

Where do you get your ideas for so many different types of art offerings?
 It goes back to my teaching art. My students and I get tired of the same approach over and over again as I present the lessons. So I have learned to be versatile in the projects we do to keep them paying attention and one idea leads to another, leads to another, etc.

Do you have a website?
Yes I do but ebid does not want websites put in auctions. Email me for the url. 

Your horses and other animals are very good. Do you do commissioned portraits? Are they as reasonably priced as your other art?
Been doing them for years. I also do cats and dogs and other pet portraits. Check my website or email me for prices, which I think are very reasonable. ($75 ppd. for 12x18 pencil portrait for example)
