Having always been “into art”, Susan first pursued a degree in theater arts at Brooklyn College. She graduated with a BFA in theater production with a focus in costuming. After working for a decade crafting garments for theater, she began to acknowledge her burgeoning love of food and desire to learn more about food while living in NYC.

Deciding to take the plunge, she attended the Institute of Culinary Education in Manhattan and received a diploma with top honors. After returning to Kentucky, she worked in several professional kitchens, catered and was a private chef. This led her to discovering the world of food styling and recipe development.

Susan sees food styling as the perfect union of utilizing her culinary skills and love of creating art. Collaborating with other creatives to create beautiful images and delicious recipes has been a unique and exciting experience. She hopes to continue nurturing and growing these skills, all the while anticipating her next amazing meal.
