About Susie Cortez:

A FINE ART CONSULTANT AND VISUAL ARTIST, SUSIE CORTEZ HAS AMASSED OVER TWENTY YEARS OF EXPERIENCE WORKING IN THE FIELD OF ART EDUCATION. SHE WORKED ALONGSIDE RENOWNED MASTER FINE ARTIST, LARRY GLUCK IN THE EXPANSION OF THE MISSION: RENAISSANCE ART STUDIOS, A CHAIN OF ART SCHOOLS FOR CHILDREN AND ADULTS IN LOS ANGELES. THE MISSION: RENAISSANCE ART STUDIOS WENT FROM 6LOCATIONS TO 20 LOCATIONS WITH SUSIE'S CONTRIBUTION.

Susie relocated to Dallas in 2018 and then to Houston, where she currently resides, to pursue her full-time artistic career. She travels frequently between the West coast and East coast, as well as the Caribbean, and Central America, to events where she paints life or works to improve her skills. In March 2018, she became the Hirst Salvadorian artist to be invited to paint at the National Gallery in Washington, DC.

The turning point in her career came when she was invited to visit the islands of Turks and Caicos in 2019. The colors, culture, and people of the islands inspired her to create brighter, bolder, and more energetic works. She has since made more visits to the island and established long-lasting relationships with the people. Keen on self-improvement and development, Susie is currently working on her latest project of limited edition handmade prints in Turks and Caicos, which will debut in 2023. She has also been busy writing a book that will document her artistic journey.

Susie is a passionate artist who likes to communicate her feelings through art and draw the audience to experience her emotions. Susie works to evoke emotions in the viewers, so they become silent partners and enjoy the experience. The different mediums she uses also contribute to the feelings she wants to convey. Susie is well versed in several mediums, including Watercolor, Gauche, Acrylics, Oils, Digital, Charcoal, Body Painting, and teaching the basics of Fine Art.

Recently, Susie joined the new and expanding world of NFTs (non-fungible tokens), becoming the Creative Director for Mowsse, (an NFT Marketplace made by Creatives for Creatives). She has also worked with various charities such as Big Brother/Big Sister of Los Angeles, The Widows Orphans, and Disabled Fireman Fund, and recently with United Way.
