Susan Kilmartin

Born in Utah, Susan grew up in mining camps all over the world, from Mexico and Cuba to South Africa, Pakistan and India.  But, her favorite was a mining camp on the south rim of the Grande Canyon where her Dad headed the Western Gold and Uranium Company.  Her best memory was riding down the ore bucket suspended on a cable into the Lost Orphan Uranium mine a mile down the canyon.

​

Her BFA is from the University of Maryland, where she also did one year of graduate work in printmaking.  She is a portrait painter, calligrapher, muralist, plein air painter, and illustrator, having just completed her 3rd children's book, Katie's Really Bad Day.  She and her husband Hugh live in South Yarmouth, Cape Cod, Massachusetts.
