Before becoming involved with Inspirations Magazine Susan worked as a high school fine arts and ceramics teacher. She did a Diploma of Art and Design followed by a Bachelor of Education in Art and Craft. Susan's mother taught her to sew, knit and embroider but whilst busy teaching she had very little time to pursue her interests. After having her son in 1990, she learned to smock and rediscovered sewing and embroidery. She is now Editor of Inspirations Magazine.
