About Nature Works

Although Art took a back seat to nature, Sue found her artistic talent and skills provided excellent support for the scientific projects. She developed a technique of pen & ink drawing to illustrate her own scientific writings, and was soon illustrating the work of other scientists and for various publications. Many of her drawings are found in publications of the Bromeliad Society International, an organization to which she has belonged for over 30 years.

In 1977, Sue exhibited three of her pen & ink drawings in the 4th International Exhibition of Botanical Art & Illustration, held at The Hunt Institute for Botanical Documentation at Carnegie-Mellon University in Pittsburgh, PA.

Her interest in art led to the development of graphic art skills through a variety of courses and self study efforts. These skills fulfilled the need for creating professional publications on a budget at the botanical gardens and park she where she was employed.

Assistance With Grant Research and Grant Writing

Recently semi-retired from full-time employment as Executive Director of a Rio Grande Valley nonprofit nature park, Sue is seeking projects that contribute to the celebration and restoration of the earth's natural treasures.

A South Texas girl with a lifelong passion for both nature and art, Sue chose to follow both paths. Sue graduated Magna Cum Laude from Corpus Christi State University. Her Bachelor of Science major was Biology, with minors in both Art and Chemistry. She went on to earn her Ph.D. at Texas A&M University, College Station, with a focus on Systematic Botany. Her dissertation was A Systematic Study of Tillandsia subgenus Tillandsia (a large group of bromeliads that are well represented in Mexico.)

Sue's professional career has been devoted to nature and conservation projects in Texas, Mexico and Georgia. She served as Executive Director to three botanical and nature facilities for a cumulative 15 years, always finding time to participate in conservation and habitat restoration projects.

Constantly facing the need for funding to carryout programs and improve facilities for the organizations she worked for, Sue honed her grant-writing skill, which began as a graduate student.

Nature Travel to Latin America

Nearly equaling Sue's passion for nature is her addiction to travel - especially in Latin America. She has traveled extensively across Mexico by automobile since the late 1960s. She lived in the forest on a mountainside in Michoacan, Mexico throughout most of the 1990s, and returns often. She is now the volunteer President and Executive Director for La Cruz Habitat Protection Project, Inc. a non-profit organization dedicated to restoring the forests of Central Mexico.
