About Me
My name is Suzanne Schaefer, a resident of the glorious Pacific Northwest. I’ve been painting and drawing since the age of 3. I swear you could lock me in a closet and I’d find some way to draw on the walls! I draw every single day just to stay sane. I am mostly self-taught, taking only a few art classes in college. I flunked Art History and Bowling, in large part because I didn’t go to class. HA. I spent 25 years as a free-lance architectural illustrator in the Denver, Colorado area working with custom home builders and realtors. Eventually, I was replaced by CAD computer programs and, sadly, few builders actually want hand-drawn illustrations any longer. It has to be ok because it has either “allowed ” or “forced” my return to the fine art disciplines I love.
This website is all about graphite pencil drawing. Drawing moments in my life, drawing life itself. It’s what I truly LOVE doing, and I want to share that passion with everyone! In addition to these drawings, I have many more paintings you can see and even purchase as giclee prints at http://suzanne-schaefer.artistwebsites.com. It’s a jam-packed website featuring 6 or 7 different galleries of my work.
I also do commissioned work, including portraits, so please feel free to contact me at artsesue@hotmail.com if you’re looking for a specific piece of artwork. I try to accommodate all budgets with some piece of original art.
I hope you enjoy all the drawings and come back often to join the conversation or just leave a comment about what things you’d like to see drawn.
