Susan Adams Bentley Biography

Susan Adams Bentley lives in Hacienda Heights with Bob, her husband of 38 years, and Rosebud, the cat that owns them!

Susan loves to teach. She spends a majority of her time teaching piano lessons to both children and adults in her home studio. She also enjoys teaching decorative painting and taught weekly classes at Carousel Crafts until the store went out of business. She teaches each year at one or more SDP chapters, as well as occasional private lessons. Whether she teaches decorative painting or piano, it brings her a great deal of pleasure.

Susan started decorative painting classes in 1986. Her medium of choice is acrylics. Learning to paint did not come easily to her. She took copious notes in every class she took to help her learn about this art form. In 1988, her husband encouraged her to turn her notes into a book. Though she doubted it would ever be published, she followed her husband’s advice and wrote a reference book for acrylic painters. She was thrilled when The Jackie Shaw Studio told her they would publish it. The first edition of “The Acrylic & Fabric Painter’s Reference Book” was released in 1989. The fourth (and final) edition was released in 1998.

She belongs to the Orange County Tole/Decorative Painters and the Southern California Decorative Painters. If you’d like to visit her website, it’s http://www.susanadamsbentley.com.
