Susan Kennicott is a midwest artist who achieved a love of nature at a young age while being raised on her family farm with her two brothers. Born to creative parents she was never taught to think inside the box. She was taught to look deeper..feel the softness of the fur, see the thoughtfulness in the eye, hear the whisper of the trees in the breeze.
Although having some formal art education while attending Western Illinois University and various workshops much of her art is self taught. She feels there are no mistakes only opportunities that can sometimes turn into accomplishments!
Recently Susan won first place in acrylics for "Tulip Petal Party" at the 2010 Iowa State Fair in Des Moines.
