About Pastels by Susan
My Story
My interest in the world of art began in 2011 when I enrolled in a drawing class. With guidance and patience, I began my journey into pastels. Now I endeavor to incorporate into that journey my two main passions: the elderly and animals. I worked in Physical Therapy with mostly geriatric patients for 20 years and feel a strong connection to that population. My other passion is animals. I am an avid supporter of PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) as well as Muttville Senior Dog Rescue of San Francisco. And while I have completed a number of portraits of dogs and cats, I also focus on animals in the wild. The mission of Pastels By Susan is to bring my two passions to life. I want to both inspire and connect with my community by sharing my art.
