Susan Stedman (née Reiser), known as Cloud Nine Painter in the art world, is a professional artist in Malvern, PA.

Cloud Nine Studio, located on the artist’s farm, is where you can find Susan painting en plein air by the pond and surrounding fields every day. While the artist views everything in life as inspiration for her work, the majority of her inspiration derives from the natural world.
“When I create something that has never existed before I explode with a powerful feeling of ultimate freedom. This feeling is translated through my work and I am told it brings joy and happiness to others. And in my opinion, that’s why we’re alive to begin with. To be happy. To be on Cloud Nine.”
