About Susan Wu

Originally from Taoyuan, Taiwan, Immigrating to the United States in 1961, raised my family, moving from South Dakota, staying in Michigan, and eventually settling in Massachusetts. After earning a Bachelor’s degree in Accounting from Northeastern University, worked at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Sponsored Research Accounting Department. Before working at MIT, I started to take some Classical Chinese Brush Painting classes at De Cordova Museum Art School. After a hiatus and after retiring from MIT, I rekindled my interest in Chinese Brush Painting, studying with Qinxiong Ma at De Cordova Museum, who specializes in combined modern Western and traditional Chinese Brush painting technique. I enjoy painting spontaneous(free) style.

My “Rooster Family” painting was accepted to De Cordova Museum art school Juried Student Exhibit in spring of 2000. I have been participated in many group and solo shows. I have exhibited my work in November and December of 2001 at Bemis Hall in Lincoln Massachusetts . In the winter of 2002 I participated in the Annual Art in the Park exhibit at University Park Country Club in Sarasota Florida, and won first place for “Rooster Family”. And the following year won a second place for “Mountain Landscape”. I had two successful solo exhibit at Lincoln Public Library in 2002 and 2011. And solo exhibit at Lexington Cary Memorial Library in December 2007. I participated in 2004 annual “Art In the Park” and won first place for “Mountain Scenery”, first place for “YellowOrchid” in 2006 and second place for “Year of The Rooster” in 2017. I had two succesful solo exhibits in Lincoln Library, Lincon Mass in May of 2017, and Bemis Hall Lincoln Mass in September & October 2017. In 2022 and 2023 I participated in annual Art in the exhibit and won second and honorable mention awards.
