At the age of 12 while in Danzig, she becomes one of the youngest pupils of the painter Fritz August Pfuhle. At the age of 21 she studies for three years at berlin state academy for fine and applied arts, under Maximilian Klewer. Later she travels to paris, where she took residence in a tiny attic in the latin quarters near the place st. michel. Following her first exhibit at the salon des independants in paris in 1929, the first of many, she became one of the most favored figural painters in paris. The majority of her drawings are rapid chalk or pen sketches due to the high demand for new artworks. Her paintings were executed in oil and pastel. Her ‘Monet’ ladies continue in popularity and Suzanne Eisendieck and her late husband Dietz Edzard, the important impressionist who died in 1963, remain celebrated as two of the greatest exponents of that part of the school of paris capturing the ultimate in french glamour.
