Susan Hoffman

In college, I wanted to become a scientific illustrator so I majored in biology and art. But I ended up focusing on biology in grad school, and went on to study law. I practiced environmental law for 16 years; then I went into journalism and did photography, page layout, reporting and editing for another 16 years. Now I'm retired and I've taken up plein air painting. But I have always maintained my interest in capturing the natural world in drawing and painting.
