about me







Hello! Thanks for visiting my little corner of the internet.  I'm thrilled to have you stop by.  
I am a stay-at-home Mom to three great kids and a big yellow dog.  When I get a minute to relax, my favorite thing to do is draw.  

My earliest memories of drawing are sitting in front of the TV watching Sesame Street with a stack of typing paper and an old tin can full of crayons.  I doodled my way through high school and made my way through art classes at Salt Lake Community College and Utah State University.

I started this blog a few years ago because I wanted to try to do something useful with the things I was drawing and hoped that someone out there would be able to use them.  I have been thrilled to find that there are many of you who have benefited from my illustrations.  Especially those of you all around the world who don't have an abundance of resources.  Helping you through my art has brought me true happiness!  Thank you for letting me share my talent with you.

I was raised by an angel mother who taught by powerful example the importance of motherhood.  While I believe that I could be professionally successful with this hobby of mine (and I'm sometimes very tempted by it)  I make a conscious effort to follow the faith I learned from my Mother in keeping my family my highest priority.  I know that my Heavenly Father blesses me and my family for that choice.

Thank you for supporting me. I hope you'll continue to enjoy what I do.

    For those of us who do not have your talent but need illustrations that speak to children and help them understand principles we are trying to teach, your art is a TREMENDOUS blessing. Thank you for sharing your incredible talent!!

    Thank you Susan for sharing your talent. You are truly following the admonition to use your talents and not hide them under a bush. As a fellow artist I can truly appreciate the joy you receive by sharing this God given talent. I am one who tends to hide mine through lack of use. Fear of failure or success not sure which but I am grateful and privileged to enjoy your gift. Thanks again for sharing. :)

    Hi Susan,

    I am always searching for great illustrations and I came across your designs on Pinterest (which I had to be told about by my daughters). Your drawings are the best I've found in years! God truly has blessed you with a wonderful gift. It's a very good decision to put your family first. If you decide to start custom work in the future, PLEASE contact me.

    Hello from Canada,

    I love putting a face to the that I have been admiring! You are very blessed to have such talent. Thanks for sharing it with the world. I love that you have images of LDS kids that I wouldn't be able to find elsewhere. Also, as the mom of a boy with special needs, thank you so much for drawing them!

    I was called to be the Primary Chorister not too long ago and I have had a hard time finding good quality, LDS themed images to use as singing time helps. Your images are perfect. Thank you so very much for sharing your talent with those called but not gifted. You are a godsend.

    Thank you for the 12 disciples cutouts I purchased today to provide to my Sunday School Class this Sunday. I will let you know how they went over with my students! Just what I needed to continue to teach the disciples and the Jesus' teachings.

    Hi Susan I really love your work, and you have inspired me to draw as well. I was wondering what mediums do you use to colour your illustrations?

    I printed off the three Reverently Singing Children and I remember seeing more "children" somewhere. Are there more, and if so, where can I find them or but the copies? You are a very talented person, and I appreciate your efforts very much.
