Susan Jane Walp (born September 7, 1948) is an American artist known for small, contemplative still life paintings. Critics describe her work as meditations on time, memory and mortality, celebrations of the complexities of seeing, and homages to the dignity of natural and humble objects. Stephen Westfall commented, "the care and precision of her painting decisions are felt as a kind of spiritual penetration into the everyday and into the realm of awareness in art wherein the living speak with the dead or the otherwise absent."
