An award winning photographer & Artist of Life, Susie has always had a difficult time leaving home without her camera (now iphone), and leaves no day experienced without capturing a stunning moment in nature. She observes Life through the lens of creativity & is insatiably drawn to the textures, light & colors of the small details of life. She clearly recognizes that all of life's Divine layers are filled with and an expression of ART ...the art of Creativity, the art of Nature, the art of Movement, the art of Breath, the art of LIFE.
Susie is raising three adored young men, Ian (25 years), Kai (22 years) and Oli (16 years) along with her beloved husband Tony. She has a tremendous amount of gratitude for ALL of their experiences, ALL that have led to the birth of this healing arts space.
Windsor Healing Arts is truly a space for cultivating authenticity.
