As an Olympia resident, Susan is former art faculty in painting and printmaking at the Evergreen State College, South Puget Sound Community College, Centralia College, and as a visiting artist within a variety of established academic programs within the community. Susan has exhibited work locally at the Childhood’s End Gallery since 1976, Salon Refu which she owned and operated from 2013-21 in downtown Olympia, and the LGM Gallery. Susan is currently a member of the Union Art Cooperative Seattle. Of this Guest Juror appointment, Susan says, “I think I am good at looking at art and listening to artists. I am thrilled by the quality and energy of the SPSCC arts community and leadership. We are lucky to have this strong program at the Leo Gallery.”
“Thank you Susan and we’re honored to have you.”
