Susan Covert
Susan Covert received her BFA from Washington University School of Art, St. Louis, Missouri. An illustrator for 30 years, her drawings and watercolors have appeared in many corporate and editorial publications. She has illustrated several children's books and taught in the Penfield and Victor School Districts in the Rochester, NY area. She has been the courtroom illustrator for WHEC TV 10, the NBC affiliate in Rochester.

Inspiration in childhood came from the wonderfully bright illuminated neon signs against the dark St. Louis sky line. Treks through her grandmother's flower garden in Memphis, Tennessee added to her interest in color, shapes and forms. From her youth she recorded natures changing scenes in her many sketchbooks, a discipline she continues today.

Her current work is a return to her classical training in oil painting and drawing. She has attended classes and workshops conducted by Tom Insalaca, Thomas Buechner, Stephen Assael, Charles Reid and recently Clayton J Beck. In June of 2000 she studied painting and drawing at the Santa Reparata Graphic Arts Studio, Florence, Italy.
