the Fine Art Fair was just the place she wanted to be! The first year she worked on T-shirts, but when the opportunity arose for the newly formed Community Mural, she knew that was the committee for her. This was a chance to a bring hands-on painting experience to people at the Fair who would otherwise feel intimidated to participate. The mural team has put together eleven murals and her connection with Tom Gunter (mural committee creator and leader), Blanca Aranda, JoAnne Wayland and David Cox has been a close and dedicated group of friends!
Tom Gunter added that Sue was responsible for introducing the mural committee’s method of letting participants mix the colors for the mural tiles themselves instead of pre-mixing colors for them. This allowed participants to learn as they enjoyed color mixing.
