 Suzanne
Johnson began her thirst for an artistic outlet as early
as first grade, but to her dismay, no ceramic classes.
She went on to college in New Jersey graduating with an
Associate of Fine Arts Degree, and again, no clay. After
a career in the medical field, raising a family and
Siberian Huskies for show and racing, Suzanne finally
turned back to art after moving to Florida, and began
taking pottery classes in Clearwater. Hooked on
the pottery bug, she proceeded to study pottery at St.
Petersburg Junior College in St. Petersburg, Florida,
the Dunedin Fine Arts Center in Dunedin, Florida, the
St. Petersburg Clay Company and numerous workshops
across the country. After an elbow injury which
temporarily prevented her from working with her
ceramics, she began taking classes at Dunedin Fine Art
Center in abstract and Sumi-E painting. She has exhibited
both her pottery and paintings in Pinellas County
Florida at Florida Craftsmen, The Arts Center, and the
Dunedin Fine Arts Center.
In addition to Studio 1212, Suzanne is a member of
the Creative Artists Guild of Dunedin, FL, the Artists
Way Cooperative of Clearwater, FL, and the Artists Guild
of Anna Maria Island, FL, and is very happy to have
finally found her clay.
