Embracing A Lifetime Passion, Susan Powell Fine Art<\/h1>\n
\u201cI\u2019m not an artist,\u201d she begins almost apologetically. \u201cI\u2019m an appreciator.\u201d Understatement! For over 30 years this woman has spent her life lapping up the arts, never getting enough, always seeking more, and constantly looking for what\u2019s real and beautiful so that she might give it a home and thereby share it with others.<\/span><\/p>\n While most people find it so difficult to break into this field, Susan Powell\u2019s early experience, coupled with her innate sense of pluck and good old fashioned \u201cchutzpah,\u201d landed her a job at The Smithsonian just days after graduating with a degree in both business and art history. \u201cI was told there were no jobs around, but I knew I had a good education and was interested in both business and art, so I could be an asset to them.\u201d\u00a0 With 95,000 people attending lectures and symposiums at The Smithsonian yearly, Powell found a home as head of that department before moving on to the famed Doyle\u00a0 Galleries in Manhattan. Founded in 1962 Doyle New York is one of the world\u2019s foremost auctioneers and appraisers of fine art and the place that Powell set her sights on for her next place of employment. The people at Doyle were a bit reluctant at first, no doubt a bit overwhelmed by this young woman who told them resolutely that she was going to work there. So Susan offered to work the first weekend for free and show them what she had.\u00a0 At the end of the successful weekend she asked for a job from William Doyle, Chairman of the Board, who must have been both struck and yet impressed by this self-assured young woman barely in her twenties. \u201cI told him I wanted to be head of the painting department, and that I would double his sales in a year.\u201d<\/p>\n
