Sue Boswell—Watercolor Artist

As long as I can remember I have been an artist. My mother entered some of my drawings in the Pomona, California fair when I was in kindergarten, and she was always the support and inspiration for me to express my creative side.

Early on, I would sit outside and sketch my surroundings. I was very much into portraits and animal drawings. I started in watercolors in my early twenties and also spent some time painting with oils. I often worked at my office job during the day, and then would sit at my easel until the wee hours of the morning painting.

I took a break in painting to spend the next twenty years drawing in pencil, pastels and charcoal. But when I started back into watercolors I knew that I was home at last and my destiny was to paint. I made a promise to myself to never stop again. The reward of expression through color is the ultimate in satisfaction of my creative spirit.
