To go in the dark with a light is to know the light
To know the dark, go dark. Go without sight,
And find that the dark, too, blooms and sings
And is travelled by dark feet and dark wings.’
- Wendel Berry
Trained as a painter, Suzanne studied at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Tufts University, and completed her MFA at Maine Media Workshops and College.

In the 1980’s and 90’s she made extended trips to Central and South America to catalog birds in the Amazon basin and Central America.
