Firehouse Gallery

Suzanne has been in the sign business for thirty five years with customers such as the National Capitol Building, Smithsonian Institute 1876 Exhibit, National Park Service Preservation Department in Scagway Alaska, Kennedy Center, and Sagamore Hill. She won craftsman of the year award from  Baltimore Building Congress for historic stenciling at St. John’s Church in Ellicott City Md. 

She paints copies of famous paintings, and sometimes puts a whimsical head from one artist onto the body of another artists work.  She has painted faux finishes for years and does faux wood graining also.

Suzanne is putting her talent to different uses.  She now uses found furniture as a base for her unique painting and decorating skills.  Often she cuts tiles or plates up and places the pieces artistically on to the furniture, sometimes with a theme such as wine or fruit. Some of her work is at the Firehouse Gallery in Charles Town West Virginia.  She can be reached at   illpass@comcast.net to inquire about purchasing or commissioning a piece.

She is on board of directors of Firehouse Gallery in Charles Town WV, and on the board of directors of Jefferson Arts Council in Charles Town WV also.         

She has shown her art at The Mansion House Gallery in Hagerstown MD, Gallery 50 in Waynesboro PA, and Oasis Gallery in Harrisonburg VA, Washington Street Artists’ Cooperative in Charles Town WV, Artomatic show at Dulles Airport, and Artomatic show in Charles Town WV.
