Susan Sawyer

Susan Sawyer is an artist-naturalist from South Woodbury, Vermont. Susan has been a freelance artist and teacher for over thirty years, and since 1996 has been a member of the faculty of the Adult Degree Program of Vermont College, where she advises studies in art and natural science. She also worked for the Vermont Institute of Natural Science for thirteen years as an educator, naturalist, and illustrator. She was one of the lead authors of the second edition of Hands-On Nature. Her particular interests include plants, insects, and all kinds of wet places – vernal pools, fens, bogs, and beaver meadows – and making art that reflects her love of nature. She’s insatiably curious, loves a puzzle, thinks observation and imagination are the beginning of both science and art, and believes in having lots of fun while learning about the natural world. Susan earned a BA in graphics and natural history from New College, Sarasota, Florida and a Master of Fine Arts in visual art from Vermont College.
