and marsh scenes. Over the years, she and her twin sister Lucerne,
had traveled the world, painting portraits of the rich and famous,
done fashion illustrations for magazines like Vogue and Harpers,
and taken on commissioned murals for the US government.

in the US Embassy in Brazil. "We are so pleased that Suzanne
has donated some of her fine work to the Art Academy," says
John Norlander. "Her generosity is greatly appreciated and
will make for an exciting anniversary celebration. We hope everyone
will come to see these outstanding works of art. They are all
for sale and the proceeds will benefit current and future artists."
