Susan didn’t set out to become an artist but her passion for art began early on; in elementary school tempera paints, construction paper and ordinary glue represented a vision to be fulfilled. While others longed for toys, her greatest joy came from visits to the local hobby shop for paint-by-number kits – she would spend many marathon weekends working on these cardboard canvases. This is what inspired her love of colored pencils and the development and evolution of her unique design process.
