Sue Donaldson - Biography

 

Sue graduated from the University of the Arts in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania majoring in advertising with a minor in photography. During her four years, she took numerous courses in fine arts painting, printmaking and graphic design.

After a successful career in elementary education, she now works full time painting with acrylics on  canvas, paper and wood. You are encouraged to contact Sue about her work.

Her artistic choices and inspiration comes from things she loves – nature, shapes, people, color, travel and the never-ending search for her artistic voice. Her work has won awards and is in private and corporate collections.

"As I create I come alive! My art is a synthesis of my personal feelings. The way I paint is my philosophy…my visual language."
