About

M Susan Broussard's work, be it painting, collage, etching, photography or mixed media, always finds its way back to her love of the figure and portraiture. Themes of her series explore the agelessness of human connectivity, of female connectivity, and anti-racism.

Born in New Orleans, Broussard studied painting and photography, moved to Paris, then settled in California where she did postgraduate studies at the San Francisco Art Academy. Her biggest dancing-in-the-streets moment as an artist was when both the Louvre in Paris and the Getty Museum liked and retweeted her artwork on Twitter. Today her home and studio are in Santa Monica, CA.
