Susana McDonnell is a Boston, Massachusetts-based printmaker and teacher. McDonnell has been an artist since an early age and has worked in many mediums throughout her career before finally settling on relief printmaking.
McDonnell earned her BFA at The New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University. Her concentration was wood and mixed-media, but she took advantage of Alfred’s broad array of classes and studied drawing, painting, glass, and neon.
Susana enjoys sharing her knowledge with her students and other printmakers. She is excited to have joined the Speedball tutorial team and to be able to share her skills with a larger audience of like-minded individuals who share her passion.
