A world traveler (and creator of numerous beautiful sketchbooks from her travels), Suzanne McNeill has just returned from a trip to Cuba for new artistic inspiration. She says “It was a wonderful trip … The bright colored antique cars, home stays, Havana and the Vinales Valley were all spectacular.”
CLOTH-PAPER-SCISSORS magazine did a 6-page article (pages 72-77) on her India Sketchbook in their July issue, She feel very honored and thrilled to have one of her sketchbooks recognized. India was one of her favorite places to visit… brilliant colors everywhere. Intriguing markets. Amazing old palaces with decorative painting on the walls and doors.
UPPERCASE July magazine also showed pages from her Vietnam Sketchbook on page 78.
