Susanna Fichera has been a private fine art dealer since 1987. Originally focusing on works by American painters from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, her inventory and areas of interest have broadened to reflect her personal and eclectic approach to collecting. Her focus now includes Modernism, social realism, regionalism, American Impressionism and expatriates, Boston school artists, the Provincetown and Cape Ann schools, painters of the Maine coast and mountains, as well as artists of the Southwest.

Susanna received her Master of Arts degree in Art History from Tufts University, with a concentration and thesis on the English Pre-Raphaelite painter Edward Burne-Jones and his stained glass designs. Prior to graduate school, she completed her Bachelor of Arts degree in Art History at Boston College. Her formal art education also included study of fine art and Italian language at Loyola University in Rome, following a summer program in Umbria.

She is the author of a catalogue on Max Bohm for the 1994 exhibition held at the Cape Museum of Art in Dennis and at the Danforth Museum of Art in Framingham, both in Massachusetts. She wrote the exhibition catalogue for a show on Cecilia Beaux held at Alfred J. Walker Fine Art in 1990. Prior to establishing her own business, she was the director of American and European paintings at Skinner Inc from 1984 to 1987; she also was a consultant and appraiser for Alfred J. Walker Fine Art for six years.

Susanna is a member of the New England Appraisers Association and has been a consultant for institutions of fine art in Maine, including the Ogunquit Museum of American Art, the Bates College Art Museum, and the Bowdoin College Museum of Art.
