“Millers River Native Fish” 

by Susan Marshall

The beauty and importance of the Millers River links us together as it slinks through the North Quabbin and provides fresh, clean water habitats for birds, wildlife and fish. These Brook trout and Chained Pickerel are indigenous species that thrived in these waters. Today they are joined by Rainbow Trout, Largemouth Bass, and other game fish that have been introduced through the efforts of sportsmen and MassWildlife.This painting is Susan’s interpretation of the underwater world just below the surface, as it winds through the towns and forests.

Susan and her husband Ted have three grown children and six grandchildren. She has a degree from UMass in Fine Art and Technical Theater and graduate studies at University of Pennsylvania and Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. She has had a custom mural business in NJ since 1994 spanning the greater Philadelphia area, NJ, and Maryland, doing both residential and commercial projects. She enjoys working with the towns of the North Quabbin on historical art projects highlighting the rich and beautiful legacy of the natural resources, people and businesses of our region.
