Her paintings were done in a realist style until the time of her marriage to abstract painter and collector George L.K. Morris in 1935.

Morris introduced her to the work of European modernists like Pablo Picasso, Fernand Léger, Georges Braque, and Juan Gris, which inspired her to explore a more abstract Cubist manner.

In April 1937, she joined the American Abstract Artists (AAA) which was an organization concerned with the Museum of Modern Art focusing mainly on American Scene Artists.

In 1938 she became the first woman to have a painting placed in the permanent collection of A.E. Gallatin's Museum of Living Art.

From 1938 to 1946, Suzy was most successful exhibiting her artwork in Gallitan's Museum of Living Art, exhibition of the Park Avenue Artists which traveled to Chicago, San Francisco, and Honolulu, a show created by Peggy Guggenheim, and Philadelphia Museum of Art in the show Eight by Eight: American Abstract Painting since 1940.
