Born in Shamokin, Susan spent her childhood in Elysburg and graduated from Southern Columbia High School. She enjoyed many summers at her grandparents’ cottage on the Isle of Que, at Selinsgrove. The stories her grandmother shared about American Indians influenced her passions for Native Americans and for the natural world.
Susan didn’t go to art school: She learned to be an artist on her own. Her motivation to make art led her to experiment with many different materials, from pencils and paints to fabrics and thread. Susan enjoyed sewing, quilting, and embroidering, and she made most of her own clothing.
Susan’s love for art expanded over 55 years, and she saw her work displayed at Geisinger Medical Center and featured in an art magazine. Many of us in Bloomsburg knew Susan as an active volunteer at St. Matthew Lutheran Church and as a friendly person behind the counter at Bloomin’ Bagels II, where she worked for a quarter of a century.
Now Susan’s dream of having her art displayed in a gallery has come true!
