ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

Sue is no stranger to journaling through art. Since she can remember, she used works of art, be it through drawing, songwriting or musical composition, as a form of expression with hopes of inspiring others to do the same. No stranger to adversity, the collection of Susan Brescia’s life experiences have sculpted her into the artist she is today. She started out pursuing a musical career before her life was derailed by a rare cancer in her late 20s and has held several benefit concerts over the years to help raise funds for various charities. Although she spent most of her professional career as a creative director, she didn’t stop creating various works of art as she believes that one’s gifts are meant to be shared.
