Meet Susan Strange.
How Did You Become an Artist?
I was a curious and spunky child from Brooklyn, who grew up in a strict Irish Catholic household. One day, I decided to look through my parent’s bedroom. After a thorough yet boring search with no hope of anything interesting, I finally opened my father’s bottom drawer and found a sketch book (What!?).
My dad had a secret; he was a police officer during the day and a secret artist at night. I thought this was wonderful and decided I wanted to be an artist too.
What Kind of Art do you Make?
I am a collage artist. I had been going to art classes every so often for years and always found an excuse not to stay with it. Two years ago an artist friend of mine suggested a collage and pencil class. I loved this class and was excited to go each week.
Years before, I had collected images from magazines and put them in folders (pre-pinterest). 
What’s Your Muse?
Music is my muse. I have played a number of instruments throughout my life. I listen to music every day and can connect with great lyrics, which gives me ideas for my collages.
A number of my works are the emotions that come from all different genres.
What’s Next?
Lastly, I want to get more commissions for portrait collages.
