Susan grew up on a farm in central Alberta, and has had a love for drawing her whole life. Her artistic inclination led her to study at the Alberta University of the Arts from which she graduated with a major in Visual Communications.

Susan lives on an acreage in Parkland County. She enjoys working in many different mediums, with graphite and coloured pencil being her primary focus over recent years. Many of Susan’s pencil drawings feature people and landscapes that reflect her prairie roots.

Susan is actively involved in the art community as a professional artist and art instructor.
