No matter the country or age, the blank page has always stirred her curiosity. Yes, and she's still curious. Join with her on a long drawl of wonder like a gentle pull of salt water taffy through a life at several address...and countries. Walk back with her to over a decade in S. Korea as time bubbles frothy and chaotic with metropolis horn blasts and
everyone in a hurry! Whether from the aroma of hot ginger soups later in Hong Kong or the local bakery mochi and sesame balls, life now rolls in present tense as memories navigate her creativity. Together let’s watch the rice fields as the heads sway and flow row upon row. Near Eui Jong Boo City, S. Korea, their lanes stage up nearby hills, minty greens frolic in a sweltering summer’s dance. Join her as art and creativity sandbox in life together…

Many designs are in repeat pattern and others, could be! Let's talk!
Florals, Coastals, Animals
Gestural watercolor and digital florals capture natural elegance, offering versatile designs. Susan paints many florals and they are dear to her heart!
Having grown up going to the Alabama Gulf Coast regularly, the ocean spray across morning beach walks still feels close. Close enough to need a towel or at least suntan lotion! Her Starfish and Sand Dollars among 30 + other designs are now available via Stupell Industries.

Having lived in South Korea over a decade and then on to Hong Kong, the tropical setting of the latter still visits her in floral and fauna.
Travel, Food & Nursery
Inspiration for food and travel designs come from the heart and many miles of pounded roads...and air. Whether in Europe, Afghanistan, or Asia, they spring from places, things, emotions that matter. Though the paint has dried and the bags are unpacked (for now) the feelings still lie close to the design.
Imagine, with her, the stories, the tales that never drift far from the paint.
Holiday,
Gift Wrap & Whimsical
Combining themed like motifs enhance ideas for wrapping paper and other product ideas. Digital florals grace her wallpaper designs available through The Savvy Decorator/ Grace and Gardenia
(See Collabs)
Early days found her headlong into watercolors, a medium that flows rich in water and imagery.
Later she added digital designs and loves to dream and paint of patterns and places that still tease her memories.
