I begin work every day with clean hands. Within minutes my hands are bright green, or purple, or whatever!
ABOUT SUSAN
One of the reasons I enjoy clay so much is that I don’t really know how to do it. Each illustration is a discovery process as I study nature and animals and try to figure out how to bring them to life in clay.
My finished clay critters live in pizza boxes, and I suspect that they play at night while we slumber.
I was an Art Director for fifteen years, and won some international 3D illustration awards and a Grammy nomination. ( Los Super Seven) I have served as a judge for the Audie awards for more than 15 years. But my passion is, and always has been, illustrating and writing for children.
I am Regional Advisor Emeritus for the Midsouth SCBWI and served for 6 years as a member of the SCBWI Bologna Team. I love to travel and have done school visits all over the world including Taiwan, Brazil, Switzerland and Hong Kong.
