Sue has always had a great interest in art. After starting in the work force, she won a scholarship with Art Instruction Schools of Minneapolis, which she worked on part time by mail. She dabbled with painting, photography and a variety of crafts. And in those rare quiet moments she sketched. When they retired and moved to Espanola, Sue saw an ad for a watercolor class, decided to try it and never looked back. It brought back wonderful memories of her early painting days. It has become part of what she is.
I have always had a great interest in dabbling in a variety of art forms. It is part of what I am. I find my muse in the landscape and wildlife of rural Ontario and out on the waters of Georgian Bay. Light and shadows, rocks and water, the subtle, delicate forms of plants, textures of fur and feathers and expressions of people. They catch my attention and inspire me.
