Sue splits her time between Baltimore and the mountains of Western Maryland. Her subjects are mostly landscapes and water vistas taken from the Deep Creek Lake area. She finds that collage is the best way to incorporate both nuances in color and texture into the pieces.

I’ve been a producing and exhibiting artist for many years, earning my BA and MFA, I was a full time art faculty member at a college. I loved teaching and take great pleasure in seeing my students’ success.I have maintained my own studio since 1984. I’ve also held residencies on four continents and cherished the time spent and friends made. My work has evolved continuously over time; that’s what keeps me going, keeps me excited, and keeps me happy.
I am a multimedia artist working predominately in encaustic and cold wax. However, I like to explore many materials. My main inspiration comes from the agrarian and coal mining culture of Appalachia, where my ancestors have lived for generations. My experiences and personal history have provided me with a firsthand view of mountain communities, the natural world, and the culture of a specific region. I find inspiration every day from memories, history, industry, and nature.
I am a painter and illustrator and a current student at Frostburg State University. Painting portraits and sketching comics, my work allows me to constantly brainstorm new projects and ideas. I use a wide variety of different techniques and mediums across my pieces in order to create an ever-evolving sense of style. Constructing a comical aspect with well-rounded characters and wacky cartoonish self-portraits, I welcome viewers to see the humor behind most of my illustrative pieces.

Robert Yonke works out of a studio in Swanton, near Deep Creek Lake. He works in watercolor with mixed media and focuses on subjects that he loves, such as music, the mountains and the outdoors.

"My work reflects personal interests. For example, I find that working on a painting of a bluegrass artist lets me relive the pleasure I've had picking with many of my friends."
