Creating stories through art and design
In the former taproom of an 1800s brick house, I create, capture, and share stories in many forms:
Painter and Flax Artist — layered with color, texture, and memory.
Photographer — studios, gardens, people, and places, seen with an artist’s eye.
Workshops & mentoring — tending the creative fire, one artist at a time.
Museum-quality archival prints — preserving every detail for decades to come.
Creative design services — bringing ideas to life in beautiful, tangible ways.

Testimonials
As a mentor, Sue’s discerning sensibility has informed my development as an independent artist. Unfailingly kind in her criticisms, she has the rare ability to clearly articulate visual concepts, delivering valuable suggestions in a manner both inspiring and actionable. Her vision and aesthetic are formidable, and her willingness to relate as a fellow practitioner allows her to deftly guide other artists’ work. Under her tutelage, I have learned to produce artwork for the commercial market, but have also grown in my own fine art practice. I look forward to many more years of productive collaboration!
I took a Sketchbook class with Sue and she helped me to see that I could explore ideas and concepts in a multitude of ways that I had not considered.
It has been transformative in my practice.
Sue is an enthusiastic instructor. She is kind, knowledgeable, generous and delightful.
–Fiona Davis, Blue Plum Pottery
I've managed creative talent for over twenty years and Sue is my go-to for any freelance design work. I will wait for her to be available if I can. She has the rare gift of being talented both visually and linguistically. She can quickly grasp the problem at hand, help craft the story that helps solve it, and then impeccably implement the design and positioning. She happily works iteratively when needed.
Talent plus intelligence plus patience -- that still doesn't add up to all Sue offers.
–David Petrie, Farmhouse Market
