a family. A recipient of the Fresno Arts Council Horizon Award, she has been active in many community groups. She is an emeritus member of the Fresno Art Museum Board of Trustees.

Although she had opportunities to paint while her family was young, Sue began to paint more seriously after her husband retired. She paints mostly in watercolors, plein air. Favorite inspirations for making art are usually outdoors. She also enjoys including figures or animals in paintings.

Center, Blue Moon Gallery, and the River Center. She is currently represented at the Blue Moon Gallery and The Door Art Gallery of Fresno.
