Art Career
While pursuing her numerous passions, Susan Olsen has continually turned to art as a creative outlet. Olsen's art collection, called "Fluffart," has been curated into a collection made available in limited editions.
As an animal welfare advocate, Olsen has also created a collection of art entitled "The Art of Rescue," with proceeds assisting animals in rescue organizations until they are able to be adopted.
In July, 2012, Susan Olsen was one of a limited number of artists invited to show in "Art with an Agenda: An Exhibit Inspired by Kelly Thomas" at the PAS Gallery in Fullerton, California. All the art on display was inspired by the life and circumstances surrounding the death of Kelly Thomas, a homeless, schizophrenic, 37-year-old man who was brutally beaten by members of the Fullerton Police Department on July 5, 2011. Olsen's piece created for this exhibit was titled "Still Life," and received critical praise, furthering Olsen's career as a relevant and respected contributor in the art world.

“They say princes learn no art truly, but the art of horsemanship. The reason is, the brave beast is no flatterer. He will throw a prince as soon as his groom.”
—Ben Jonson (c. 1572–1637)
