Susan Tait Porcaro was born and raised in Lawrence, Massachusetts, the 4th of 5 children, and drew everything she could get her hands on from day one. She moved to England in 1975 and discovered the joy of colored pencil after a tragic black ink meets red rug incident. After returning from the UK (1975-78) she finished up at Lawrence High school, and went on to Chamberlayne School of Design and UMass Lowell. She taught art at her former high school for a year, then illustrated for an advertising agency in Andover, MA before moving to Connecticut in 1988. That year she began working for G.Fox department stores in the advertising department, first as a layout artist, then art director. In 1994 Sue began her illustration career anew at the Channing Bete Company in Deerfield, MA. She left Channing in 2000, but, continues to illustrate for them on a freelance basis. Since 2002 she has created her own realistic still life in colored pencil. In 2006 she went back to work full-time as an art buyer for a publishing service company. She continues to illustrate and exhibits locally and nationally. She has also been a portrait artist since the age of 16. Sue lives in Connecticut, is married and has 3 boys, so, she’ll have to find a niece to pass her girlie stuff to….
