Biography of Susan Jarecky
Susan Jarecky, born in 1962 , is a native Southern Californian and raised in Irvine. Always with  crayon or brush in hand, Susan revealed her passion for art early on.

Susan’s work includes commercial and residential projects worldwide.

In 2011, Susan was honored to make her fine art debut as a first year exhibitor in the Festival of Arts, Laguna Beach.  In Western Art and Architecture Magazine’s Dec/Jan 2012 issue, Susan is featured in the “Illuminations” section as a “one’s to watch” artist.
