Susan Gesundheit’s approach was developed sixteen years after her B.A. in Art from UCLA, during classes with Alex Vilumsons, whose right brain drawing approach turned her art toward a more creative and personal direction. She joined Artist Co-op 7, a group formed out of his classes, and has grown as an exhibiting artist and teacher, and is a member of their art panel of curators.

Susan Gesundheit chairs the art gallery committee for USC Hillel that brings inspiring art for the students to view. She is a member of Collage Artists of America, Women Painter’s West, Valley Watercolor Society, California Art League, and has received awards through their juried shows. She exhibits in Artist Co-op 7 venues and reaps the benefits of teaching and the positive energy of working with various studio groups. She teaches Artist Co-op 7 watercolor and figure drawing classes through the San Fernando Valley Arts & Cultural Center. She has participated in monotype workshops in Italy, Jerusalem, Santa Barbara and at USC with Ruth Weisberg, Professor at the USC Gayle Garner Roski School of Fine Arts, and serves on their Board of Councilors.
