The Artist behind the Art
Sue Miller was raised Susan Pacheco in South Dartmouth Massachusetts.
She began painting at a young age and was inspired by her artist father
Tony Pacheco. She graduated from Dartmouth High School and attended
South Eastern Massachusetts University (now called University of
Massachusetts), where she studied fine arts. Sue also had private art
lessons with legendary painters Milton Healey and Rachel Farrington and
Margret La-shoot.
Sue enjoyed a career of 20 years as a professional graphic
artist. She worked in advertising agencies, art departments, newspaper
art departments, department store art departments etc. During these
years as a graphic artist, Sue was able to express her creativity on the
job.
She considers herself lucky to have been able to draw and design daily for so many years.
Today Sue runs her own business called The Magic Palette
Art Studio where she has taught thousands of students to draw and paint
for the past 15 years.
In addition to art lessons that she teaches out of her
home studio, Sue is almost always involving her creativity to paint in
some capacity every day. For Sue this can mean the preparation involved
in beginning a new project or putting a brush to canvas. She has been
known to be working on two paintings at one time. A day without painting
in some faculty is like a day without water for Sue.
Sue's work has been published in countless magazines and
E-zines. She has also been blessed to with Authors to provide the cover
art for their children's books.
A visit to Sue's home or online gallery will have you
immediately drawn to the diversity of her art. Her paintings include a
variety of subjects from angels, fairies, elves, nature, wildlife,
children and pets. You will also notice that Sue especially enjoys
painting the seasons. There is a vast collection of art to cover every
Holiday of the year. Sue's models of her paintings are often her art
students and her nieces that help bring about the humanistic qualities
that adorn her art.
She resides in Northwestern New Jersey

autumn their golden retriever. Their home has been quoted by many people
