"I deeply love being in the wilderness — skiing, hiking, and traveling with my family in the Rockies and around the world. A long time Buddhist, I find my calm while gardening. My art reflects my love of the wild and open space. I’m inspired by many, many teachers, including inhabitants of those wild places, and continue to learn new ways to express gratitude, delight, and understanding. I try to use my skills, talents, and experience to serve the greater good in pragmatic, beneficial ways." - Susan C. Ross
