Susie Cannon

Susie has always known she's wanted -- and needed -- to create art.

Growing up in Los Angeles, one of her earliest jobs was as a production painter. Susie worked for a production paint company, copying 10-100 canvases of the same paintings to be sold in retail stores. They showed up in some interesting places, like Bob Newhart's office. 

From there Susie became a graphic designer, a photographer, and she currently owns a creative marketing agency based in Northern Colorado and Wyoming.

Art continues to be at the forefront of all she does; that need to create brought Susie to carving. Tables, ladders, stools, "I have years of furniture in my house," she says.

She's attracted to their lines. Walking through an antiques store, pretty lines will call out to her, telling Susie what they want to be. She takes them home and enhances them into a work of art.
