		Children's Author & Illustrator Suse MacDonald ^Votes:0 Suse MacDonald's Books About Suse I can't remember when I first knew I was an artist but by the time I entered college, I knew that art would be the focus of my life. In college the courses offered were in the fine arts. Commercial art was looked down upon: a waste of one's talents.

After college, I married. My husband Stuart and I settled in New York City. I illustrated science text books and had a wonderful time. The studio where I worked had thirty artists, photographers, draftsmen, and even typesetters (This was before computers). I learned about and became fascinated by the commercial side Read More Go to Site
