Helping create positive surroundings, initiatives, inspiration in both public and private spaces
Susan's most recent (2009) Art Connection donor artist gifts went to Brockton Neighborhood Health Center (a multicultural organization that collaborates with community agencies to provide high quality comprehensive health care that is linguistically, culturally, and financially accessible), Roxbury YouthWorks (inspiring young men and women to recognize and develop their strengths), and Winter Valley Residences (a nonprofit housing organization for the elderly). From 2006 - 2009, 29 of Susan's artworks (series and individual pieces) have been chosen for acquisition by 18 different charitable organizations, throughout the Greater Boston area.

EAGERNESS TO PAINT
Art inspires,
Art fires
Paint flows
Desire and burn,
Eagerness to learn
Enthusiasm radiates
Haste not possible,
Perfection responsible
Productivity in moderation,
Deliberation and concentration
Art, so much painstaking care,
Art, such expression to share
(from Poetic Wisdom: Revealing and Healing, 1998)
