She learned that creative storytelling using illustrations from nature is a marvelous tool for teaching life lessons of faith. After living in the countryside of Japan and the Sierras of Nevada, she returned home to the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia and began working as the Childrens Music Coordinator at her church. For the past five years, she has been overseeing the creative production of childrens musical programs by integrating her love for teaching, ministry, and children.
Susan Plenge gives this maple a voice as she joyfully discovers her purpose to serve others where she has been planted.
Susan McLaren did not set out to be an illustrator, or even an artist. Her career in health care was abruptly cut short by sudden adult onset deafness, as was her favorite hobby of participating in music through playing of instruments and singing in choir at her church. In her journey through this setback, with guidance - and sometimes nudging - from God, she rediscovered her love for art and began receiving instruction in watercolors, a totally unexplored medium for her. Much to her surprise, she discovered a new love for painting in transparent watercolors; but it was just a hobby until a chance encounter with the author led to the illustration of this book. Although this is Susans first attempt at such a challenge, it has fueled her desire to continue to explore this versatile and challenging medium.view less
