Sue Gasser was born an artist. For as long as she can remember, she has always been drawing or painting.
As a child, Sue would mainly sketch portraits in pencil … pictures of famous people and family members. Her gift used to be merely a hobby, but now art is a full-time occupation for her.
With no professional fine art training, Sue Gasser has developed her own style over the years.
While doing a ticket writing course, she was introduced to pastels.
“I took to pastels like a duck to water,” Sue explains. “My ticket writing instructor told me I should become a full-time artist … so I entered an art exhibition in 1988.”
“I was amazed that people wanted to buy my work,” she continues. “Since that time, I have never looked back!”
This talented artist has won prizes in countless shows and displayed her work in numerous exhibitions – solo and shared.
