My Story
Hi, I’m Sue…… the artist behind the ‘Created by Sue’ business.
I suffer from Fibromyalgia, which as you probably know, has it’s own set of daily challenges. I pace myself and listen as much as I can to my body and it lets me know its limits. I’ve also had thyroid cancer but apart from a croaky voice first thing in the morning, thankfully, I don’t think it has had a lasting effect on me or if it has, it’s now combined with the challenges of Fibro.
Since I have recently made the decision to stop making memory bears, I have rediscovered my love of art. Sharing my original artwork at affordable prices, makes me happy. I feel there are too many mass-produced products already on the market, it’s time to bring back original, one of a kind pieces that spark conversations.
‘Be Unique, Be Original’ – Don’t be afraid to stand out from the crowd.
