She is a compassionate and selfless leader in the arts community who consistently finds creative opportunities to blend her passion for art with her compassion and dedication for advancements in the areas of mental health, addiction, and developmental disabilities. She strives for fairness and justice within a variety of disability and disenfranchised communities and uses art to express the celebration of diversity, to advocate for access and to create awareness around the impact of disabilities. When Suzanne is not traveling, working, or spending time with her family she can be found in the garden.
