Susan Lim was born and raised in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. She moved to the United States for college and graduated with a Bachelor degree in Film Scoring at Berklee College of Music. The entertainment industry was not a good fit, she then ventured into an online clothing business, her first love, and it lasted for 15 years. A devastating miscarriage in 2018 led her to taking art classes to alleviate her sorrow. She has been obsessed with everything art ever since and thinks that art saved her from that deep dark place.The pandemic lockdown in the year 2020 helped jump start her art career when she offered to paint portraits for a donation to Feeding America on Instagram. She painted 9 portraits of people and pets for that campaign. Her painting “Lean On Me” was a finalist in the animal portrait category at the Portrait Society of America’s members only competition in 2021. Her favorite subjects are people, as there are so many stories untold within our faces. She has been creating conceptual and figurative art. She completed an underwater and floral series and is in the middle of creating another series with flowers and beauty. She believes that the world needs more beautiful art as we all strive to make it a better place.
