Love Letters To My Tribe Sooo Full Soup from Auntie Sue Webber 😉
I’ve always loved creating. Whether it was drawing crazy doodles, sewing Barbie clothes, baking cookies, or building forts, I seemed to be a natural. I had an exciting career navigating the drama of Advertising and Marketing through the 90’s, but was tired of the never ending roller-coaster-rat-race of Southern California. My 40th birthday was also my first day of culinary school at the Institute Paul Bocuse, in Ecully France. For the next decade I lived my wildest dreams exploring the Caribbean, Med, Alaska, Great Lakes, Canada, both US coasts, and the Galapagos as a yacht chef. Again with some of the best of the best times in the world.
But my true artistic soul was reawakened during an aura drawing class. I hadn’t drawn in over 25 years, and created the first three drawings of my meditative coloring book in one night of intense Inspiration. I will be giving away free coloring pages, and maybe even a few sweet treats.
