Susie M. Barstow (May 9, 1836 – June 12, 1923) was an American painter associated with the Hudson River School who was known for her luminous landscapes.

[2] Barstow's A Bit of Catskill Woods was in the collection of American art patron Thomas B. Clarke between 1872 and 1879.

[8] In 2023, the Thomas Cole National Historic Site's exhibition Women Reframe American Landscape: Susie Barstow & Her Circle/ Contemporary Practices offered the first retrospective on Barstow's work, placing it in dialogue with contemporary artists who challenge concepts of landscape.

[9] Complementing the exhibit, art historian Nancy Siegel published the biography Susie M. Barstow: Redefining the Hudson River School (2023), which drew on archival sources including letters, diaries and sketchbooks held by her family.

[1][7] She often went on expeditions along the Hudson River and in the mountains that combined hiking with sketching and painting.
