Hello there, I'm Susan Gertz
A lifetime of animals and art.
I have always been an artist, and animals have always been an essential part of my life. From my earliest memories of napping in the sun with our family dog Brutus, to studying zoology in college, helping people get up close and personal with barred owls and boa constrictors as a zoo educator, and always having a dog and cat crew at home… life has revolved around my love for animals!
