Welcome! I’m Susan Silva, an artist, educator, and believer in the transformative power of creativity. For over 25 years, I’ve dedicated my life to helping others discover their artistic voice—whether in the classroom, the studio, or through community art initiatives. As an art teacher I have had the joy of guiding thousands of students, from curious beginners to emerging creatives, as they explore the potential of visual expression.

When I’m not teaching, you’ll find me immersed in my own art practice. My work spans a range of media, from mixed-media collages to photography that captures everyday life. I believe art isn’t just something you create—it’s a lifestyle.

Over the years, my work has been shown in galleries, exhibitions, and community spaces, but my favorite creations are the connections I build with others through art. Whether it's collaborating with fellow artists, mentoring a student, or sharing a laugh over a particularly messy paint spill, I love how art brings people together.
