ENDANGERED: Fine Art & Photography Contest 2019 Submission

Susan Andreasen graduated from the Parsons School of Design in Fashion Design and Illustration where she was privileged to study with Murray Tinkleman.

Her work in fashion illustration at Fairchild Publications led to her appointment as Art Director at Nadler & Larimer Advertising Agency. After her distinguished advertising career, Susan changed her professional direction to painting portraits with a unique perspective incorporating humans and endangered species.

Environmentalist and endangered species advocate, Andreasen has promoted green consumerism and environmental awareness through her artwork for over a decade. A portion of Andreasen sales is donated to an environmental or endangered species related.

An eco-artist creating paintings of endangered or extinct animals situated in their natural surroundings, Susan is the only artist to combine human images, sometimes a celebrity, with an endangered animal using portraiture. The paintings pose the question: who is endangered?
