Wine and Nibbles Open House - Thursday May 2
Welcome Guest Artist Sue Funk
Art on Main is pleased to welcome Sue Funk as our guest artist for the month of May. Join us for a gala reception on Thursday, May 2 from 5 to 8 p.m.
Biography of Sue Funk
Though originally from New Jersey (GSP, exit 135), we moved to Massachusetts due to my husband’s job. Over the past two decades, I have been involved with raising our children and various dogs who have accompanied us on our life journey. Like most creative types, art is an integral part of who I am. That creative force has always inspired me, from my 2nd grade diary (no stick figures) to creating & needle pointing Tallits (prayer shawls) for each of my children. Educated with a BA in Fine Art at Monmouth College, New Jersey, I chose Monmouth because it was an easy-walking-mile to the beach.
My career includes selling my art, a calligraphy business (Sue’s Calligraphy Stuff) and teaching Basic Drawing and Cartooning to children and seniors. Always my first love: drawing, looking inward and reflecting on paper what I see.
