Sue Averell was born in Ohio in 1957. Her family soon moved to Southern California where she grew up. As a child, Sue spent much of her time drawing; she knew early on that she was going to be an artist.

After studying at the prestigious Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California, Sue worked for several years in the printing industry.

In 2002 Sue began working full time in her painting studio creating works for her studio events and gallery shows.  

Sue creates many commissioned works each year for both corporate and individual clients. She enjoys working with her clients to create just the right piece and welcomes your inquiry about a personal painting for you or your business. 

Sue's Sausalito studio is open twice a year for the annual Marin Councils Spring Open Studios and the ICB Building Winter Open Studios events. The ICB Building event includes 50 participating artists; all are within the building where Sue's studio is located.

For exact dates, please go to Sue's website. In addition, she welcomes visitors to her Sausalito studio through out the year by appointment .

I invite you to visit "The Process" page to view and appreciate the thick, juicy, layers of paint indicative of all of my work.
