Sue Miller was raised Susan Pacheco in South Dartmouth
Massachusetts. She began painting at a young age and was inspired by her artist father Tony Pacheco. She graduated from Dartmouth
High School and attended South Eastern Massachusetts University (now called University of Massachusetts), where she studied
fine arts. Sue also had private art lessons with legendary painters Milton Healey and Rachel Farrington and Margret La-shoot.
Sue enjoyed a career of 20 years as a professional graphic artist. She worked in advertising
agencies, art departments, newspaper art departments, department store art departments etc. During these years as a graphic
artist, Sue was able to express her creativity on the job.
She considers
herself lucky to have been able to draw and design daily for so many years.
Today Sue runs her own business called The Magic Palette Art Studio where she has taught thousands of students to
draw and paint for the past 15 years.
In addition to art lessons
that she teaches out of her home studio, Sue is almost always involving her creativity to paint in some capacity every day.
For Sue this can mean the preparation involved in beginning a new project or putting a brush to canvas. She has been known
to be working on two paintings at one time. A day without painting in some faculty is like a day without water for Sue.
Sue’s work has been published in countless magazines and E-zines. She has also
been blessed to with Authors to provide the cover art for their children’s books.
A visit to Sue’s home or online gallery will have you immediately drawn to the diversity of her art. Her paintings
include a variety of subjects from angels, fairies, elves, nature, wildlife, children and pets. You will also notice that
Sue especially enjoys painting the seasons. There is a vast collection of art to cover every Holiday of the year. Sue’s
models of her paintings are often her art students and her nieces that help bring about the humanistic qualities that adorn
her art.
