Susan Choroszewski's passion for art began in her teens when she inherited her late grandmother's oil painting set. As a student at Queens College (CUNY), she had the good fortune of studying with master watercolorist Barse Miller—a plein air artist of the California School.

Susan accumulated over 30 art credits while earning her BA and MS degrees in Elementary Education. She has taught elementary school in New York City for 13 years before moving to New Jersey in the 1980s; she has also acquired NJ Teaching Certification.
