ERIN SUDDUTH

I was born. I lived in several states. My Mom was an avid cross-stitcher and perfectionist. She was also an elementary school teacher and if you don’t think all teachers are artists, I beg to differ. She made the most beautiful class bulletin boards and was always trying out new art projects for her students on me before she rolled them out to her class. I was always a creative person, but I started making art in earnest a few years ago when I was essentially like, “Why can’t this be displayed? Everybody can like it or not and take what they want from it.” And that’s how I got here.
