What do you get when you take a workshop from Suzie?
You will experience informative and humorous classroom instruction along with daily time at your easel. Sign-up for an upcoming workshop and jump to YOUR next level in painting!
"Not only is Suzie an accomplished Plein Air painter, AND portrait artist, but she is one of the nicest people you’ll meet. When having a conversation with her, you get the feeling that she’s really listening. She’ll offer you good and constructive advice, and throw in a couple of favors as well! In the short time that I’ve known her, she’s bent over backward for me. She’s a kind, “giving”, artist.” Marjorie Hicks
"Suzie’s work ethic and artistic eye was fascinating and informative. I’m still jotting down notes as I remember our conversations and have a long list of techniques to integrate and creative business strategies to employ. Thank you again Suzie Baker!" Sally Anne Fischer
"Wow! I learned so much and am ready to go to the next level by way of improved value in my paintings. Suzie was well organized, presented the material in a clear manner and was patient with all the questions I’m sure she’s answered hundreds of times. I definitely recommend her to others!” Elyse Taylor
