Susan Moyer

After having worked as a paralegal for almost 30 years and raising a family (which left me no time for art of any kind), in 2002 I made good on a life-long threat to retire and become an artist.  I started taking a watercolor class at the local art center ~ and struggled mightily with it.  Just as I was beginning to think my dreams of being a 'real' artists were sinking, my instructor/mentor/friend Ruth Glenn Little suggested that I try colored pencils.  I could draw ~ and am very detailed and realistically oriented, which colored pencils require ~ and those pencils just grabbed me instantly.  They seem to be the perfect media for me. and I've been hooked on them ever since.  My first entry in a local art show in the fall of 2003 brought me a blue ribbon in the amatuer category and I have since won many ribbons and awards, sold many colored pencil paintings and progressed to the professional category by 2005.  In 2004, I began teaching colored pencil drawing at a local college (in their evening continuing education program) and have continue teaching in my home for the past couple of years.  This summer, for the first time, I submitted a piece to the Colored Pencil Society of America's annual exhibit and was juried into the show.  Although I did not receive any award for my drawing, just being juried in was award enough for me!  I am currently putting together a book on colored pencil drawing, based on the lessons I have given to my students in the past four years, and will hopefully have it ready to submit to a publisher in the near future.  In the meantime, I have also gone back and taken watercolor classes again, under the tutelage of Cindy Brabec-King, and have managed to win a number of awards for a couple of my watercolors, including two Best of Show awards, one here in Colorado and one in Washington.  I'm still learning ~ and always will be ~ but my art work has given me incredible joy and fulfillment.
