She has spent many years rug hooking her original designs, and continues to produce and sell rug hooking patterns. Due to some wrist issues, Susan returned to painting as a creative outlet, and has enjoyed creating art, and attending and contributing to gallery events in the area. Her other passions include photography, birding and travel and any combination of them at one time is a bonus!
Susan has not had any formal art training, so is enjoying being able to participate in classes and network with other artists to learn and improve her work.
