Susan Rinehart's unique ability to photograph flowers and other botanicals is derived in part by her training and experience in other artistic mediums. She attended California Institute of the Arts, formerly called Chouinard Art Institute, where she studied fine art. Susan has explored and mastered several mediums from detailed pen and ink drawing and print making to painting in oils and acrylics. Many of her paintings and drawings are in corporate and private collections. Several paintings have been published as limited editions by Art Boom Limited Editions. In 2004 Susan became fascinated with photography and specifically with capturing the beauty and imagery of flowers and other botanicals. Susan currently works and resides in the San Francisco Bay area
