Please introduce yourself and briefly describe your art.
I am Susan Stoll. I am a photographer and a painter. The inspiration for my work is provided by the never-ending beauty of nature.
What led you to be an artist and to share your art in Auburn Old Town Gallery?
Artistic expression has been a part of who I am for as long as I can remember. I can’t imagine seeing the world around me and/or expressing myself in any other way. I am proud to be a member of Auburn Old Town Gallery with its talented group of artists. An added perk is meeting all the customers from both near and far when they visit the gallery.
Where are you originally from?
I was born and raised in California. I have lived in Auburn for over 30 years.
What did you want to be when you were younger?
I have always wanted to be an artist.
Tell us about a compliment that you’ve received that you’re most proud of.
Rather than listing a complement, I will list an observation. As a former Montessori teacher and art instructor, observing students flourish academically, socially, and creatively warms my heart. In my observations, children are naturally drawn to nature and the arts.
What’s one thing that has made you smile recently?
When I think about my family, friends, and community, I smile with gratitude.
