Hi, Welcome to my world!
I’m Sue Corl.
I live in Harborside, Maine with my husband, Ron.
I love to have fun with my art; in fact my philosophy is “If you aren’t having fun, what’s the point?”
I consider myself an embroidery and quilting artist, but I have been known to paint with watercolor and acrylic. I love the flow of watercolor on paper and experimenting with painting on fabric and quilting it.
My studio is my playground; I live in my own little world, but it’s okay; they know me here!
Although I have been creating art all of my life, exhibiting and selling my art is very new to me. Currently, I just have my Peek Babies Alphabet Book for sale. I am constantly working to update my site, so please visit often to see what’s happening in my studio and what I have for sale.
Thanks for visiting!
Here are some quotes to ponder:
An artist is someone who produces things that people don’t need to have but that he – for some reason – thinks it would be a good idea to give them. ~Andy Warhol
Painting is just another way of keeping a diary. ~Pablo Picasso
When inspiration doesn’t come, I go halfway to meet it. ~Freud
Painting is easy when you don’t know how, but very difficult when you do. ~Edgar Degas

Creativity takes courage. ~ Henri Matisse
Artists who seek perfection in everything are those who can’t attain it in anything. ~Eugene Delacroix
The artist does not see things as they are, but as he is. ~Alfred Tonnelle
Inspiration is for amateurs. The rest of us just show up and get the work done. If you wait around for the clouds to part and a bolt of lightning to strike you in the brain, you’re not going to make an awful lot of work. ~ Chuck Close
If people only knew how hard I work to gain my mastery. It wouldn’t seem so wonderful at all.

A true artist is not one who is inspired, but one who inspires others. ~ Salvador Dali
I started painting as a hobby when I was little. I didn’t know I had any talent. I believe talent is just a pursued interest. Anybody can do what I do. ~ Bob Ross
