"My father was my first art teacher. He taught me the value and joy of expressing one's self through painting and drawing," said Mary Sue.

She has worked as a professional graphic designer, art instructor, and story board artist. In addition to her commissioned work, she is a private art instructor for children, teens, and adults.

Mary Sue is often inspired by her travels and the many different places she and her family have lived. “My husband and I bring our paints when we travel, and we often sell our work right on the spot!”

Mary Sue studied at the Art Academy of Cincinnati, Edgecliff College, and the Art Students' League of New York.
