She attended art school at Cottini and the Academy of Fine Arts in Turin and was a pupil of the master Sergio Albano. Since 1984 she has had many exhibitions in Italy and internationally. In May 2013 the paintings by the artist Susanna Viale representing the Major and the Minor Arcana of the Tarot cards were exhibited at San Severo in Nazples. The works were placed in such a way that visitors made a journey through the symbolism of the tarot. The works were carried out by Susanna Viale for the book "Psychological Tarot" by Maurizio Cusani (New Ipsa Editore). She has her own gallery in Pino Torinese just south of Turin. The designs for the Minors follow to a great extent the emblematic sequence of the Rider-Waite.
