About Susan Sharp:
Susan Sharp is an abstract artist, author of Mid-Life Wisdom, The Legend of Frodder Spires, and The Farty Boys series and a contributor to three other books. She’s also a speaker with a passion for understanding our creative potential and motivations. Her blend of humor and ease of presentation makes her a sought-after speaker and podcast guest. Susan speaks about her career in the arts, the artist’s workspace and its importance in creativity, her Midwest upbringing, her creative process, her career in teaching in higher education, and the desire to see all people—especially those who don’t consider themselves creative—let go of limiting beliefs and blocks to their greatness.
Through a combination of years of personal study on creativity as well as her own involvement in numerous creative pursuits (writing, art, music, design, directing, playwriting, craft, and voiceovers) Susan’s art was featured on the set of Season 7 of Orange is The New Black.
