Sue Johnson has an MA in Studio Art from Bowling Green State University and an MA in Art Therapy from Vermont College. She was a practicing art therapist for more than 25 years before retiring to St Petersburg from Ohio in late 2001. After retirement, Sue followed her dream of returning to her artistic roots. Painting primarily in oils, with the human figure as a subject focus, Sue is drawn to express an inner vision based in her personal spiritual practice. Especially interested in the feminine archetype, she is a long time student of eastern contemplative studies and a certified instructor of mandala art.
