Although Susan Altman has called Charleston home for many years, she is still attached to her roots in Connecticut.  Altman has studied with numerous community artists at The College of Charleston and has been mentored and deeply influenced by William Halsey where she was encouraged to develop a free and creative statement, without fear of failure! Altman has completed numerous courses at The Art Students League of New York which have broadened her artistic awareness and encouraged her to explore the multitude of approaches available to an expressive artist.
