Sue is a multi-disciplinary, self-taught artist. Her creativity not only lends itself to her own artistic practice but also in how she customizes her classes. Because of her own curiosity and exploration in art, she loves being able to stoke even the smallest flame and uncover each individual’s unique potential for self-expression. Art is a low-risk practice that allows us to be brave and share who we are. Through these art classes, Sue encourages personal agency and preferences over micromanaging outcomes, but can still provide feedback and direction where needed. Currently teaching classes in senior living facilities and local homes around Austin, she continues to receive heart-warming feedback from people who take her class, such as:
