Susan is admired for infusing humor in both her art and her teaching. She uses bodily kinesthetic, poetry and stories she has written, while emphasizing how others feel when communicating with one another. She also celebrates the individual strengths of each participant in her classes. She finds great beauty in life and all its imperfections.
