What students have to say: |
"Taking Susanne's Urban Sketch and Watercolor Class was so inspiring and educational, it was truly magical! It was a great stepping off point into drawing and painting and I highly recommend it for any skill level. She is an amazing instructor and gentle soul who welcomes all into the art/drawing/painting world with ease. If you have an opportunity to learn from her, take advantage of it, enjoy and make friends! She is a truly caring and thoughtful instructor!"

" I have truly enjoyed the Watercolor and Urban Sketchers classes with Susanne. She is an awesome talented instructor, mentor, motivator who brings out the artist in us all. Would recommend the classes to anyone who has a desire to draw/paint in a relaxing and friendly environment. I know I am glad I did."

School Visits
It has been so much fun to do school visits in my own community. I have been invited several times to do book readings and talk to students about how to illustrate a book. We have done several projects on how to create a book characters and how to use our imaginations to create out if this world works of art.
Drawing Fundementals and Urban Sketching at Sunset Park
I was really excited to be asked to teach a drawing fundamentals and Urban Sketching Class. What a beautiful location to share knowledge with my peers from the Florida Keys Watercolor Society.
Urban Sketching
It has been my pleasure to volunteer to teach Urban Sketching at Outdoor Resorts in Long Key Florida for several seasons now. I am very proud of this hard working class of first time artists who are game for anything. We don't take ourselves too seriously, we encourage one another and have so much fun together.
Private Lessons
While I was learning about drawing, painting and illustration, I was excited to share my discoveries with people who wanted to learn how to draw and paint, this began my teaching career.
