She enjoys using her creative flair in quilting and interior design as well. \nSue graduated from the University of Denver with a Bachelor’s in business with a focus on hospitality management and earned an associate’s degree from the Culinary Institute of America. Following her tenure as a pastry chef in New Hampshire\, Sue returned to school for a certificate in graphic design and put her talents to use as a designer in the book publishing and art publishing industries in Vermont. In early 2019\, Sue opened her own gallery and studio\, Arts Abound in Magnolia Village\, MA\, as an artistic haven for local artists. Through the gallery\, over 30 artists featured their creative works\, ranging from paintings\, hand-painted silk scarves\, silver jewelry\, and more. Sue also ran many workshops and classes featuring many of the artists. Often\, Sue would work late into the night\, painting in her Arts Abound studio. After closing the gallery in 2022\, Sue continued to offer the often sold-out painting classes\, taught by some of the Arts Abound artists. \nSue has studied under numerous artists to learn watercolor\, acrylic painting\, cold wax & oil\, and collage. Her goals for the Hammond Castle Museum sketch classes are to engage those who are new to the world of art and reinvigorate those who haven’t picked up a blank canvas or sketch pad in a long time. Sue’s philosophy on the creative process encourages you to be less concerned about the final product and instead to enjoy the journey of creativity and get lost in the moment. Once you find yourself in your work\, you may just be surprised!

SUMMARY:A TALE OF TWO SAILORS: Captain Richard Wainwright\, Coal Passer Gil Veno and the USS Gloucester
DESCRIPTION:In July\, 1898 the USS GLOUCESTER was the most famous vessel in the world. Its commander\, Richard Wainwright\, who never said much\, acted to avenge the MAINE\, his old ship\, with innovation and daring. He turned a blind eye to limiting orders and led the American charge at sea with all guns blazing at the Battle of Santiago Bay\, destroying two larger ships and capturing the Admiral of the Caribbean fleet on July 3\, 1898. The City of Gloucester gave him a silver loving cup and a fish dinner at Long Beach. \nOn the other hand\, the only Gloucester man aboard the Gloucester\, Gil Veno\, ran away from newspaper reporters and said nothing. Why? Now hear this… \nA Talk by Wayne Soini\, author of the upcoming GLOUCESTER AND THE WAR OF 1898 (Arcadia Press).
