Who is Susan Lenz?

Hello, my name is Susan Lenz. I am an American daughter of German immigrants. I am a happy wife for just over thirty-seven years as I married my first and only love. I am a homeowner, a businesswoman, a custom picture framer, a taxpayer, a non-practicing Catholic, a member of a few non-profit organizations, a college graduate, a blogger, and share a 14 pound cat named Max with a neighbor!Most personally, I am an ARTIST.

I probably always was an artist but I didn't know it. Sixteen years ago I admitted this hidden identity to myself and turned my world upside down. This transformation required a complete change in lifestyle, income, and spiritual direction. Yet, my professional background has served me well. I quietly work longer hours and harder than anyone else I’ve ever known while still enjoying the influence of others.

I use needle and thread for self-expression. I work within the scope of an overall theme toward a final, mixed media installation. The work within the theme can stand on its own merits. I am professional in most everything I do in order to avoid embarrassment. I have a good sense of humor. I love to travel.
