My painting, Ode to Suze, acrylic on canvas, wood, 12 x 12 inches, honors Suze Orman, successful author and personal finance expert.
I started listening to Suze Orman’s Women and Money podcast at the start of the pandemic on my walks, which has empowered me to learn and understand more about finances, and to gain confidence in my abilities to make my own financial choices. She has helped countless individuals in this area.

I am honored that Higgins Inks featured my figure study in Higgins brown ink on their Instagram page on January 20, 2023. I have been using their ink for years.
The ink drawing was created on Strathmore Mixed Media paper, in an October IG drawing challenge from model Lilian D’Mello’s “Liltober,” (@lilian.dmello @liltober.art )(similar to Inktober) where she provided a reference photo every day in the month of October. The corresponding prompt word for the day was ENDLESS. I participated in and completed every day of the challenge.
It is nice to be recognized for this ink drawing.
