A Breath Away
I am a 67-year-old woman who is struggling to breathe. My name is Susie Houghton and I have been diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). I am now dependent on machines to provide me oxygen 24 hours a day. I am currently affiliated with the Lung Transplant Program at Tampa General Hospital.
I grew up in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, married, and had two daughters. In 1971, I began a 42-year career as a Neurodiagnostic Technologist. I worked in Florida, California, and Chicago, before settling back in my home state of Florida. I’ve always been artistic and took up acrylic painting after retiring in 2013. I enjoy painting Florida landscapes, reminiscent of the Florida I grew up in.

Good for you Susie you have a real grasp of a palm tree and how to translate them on to canvas. They say paint what you know and for certain we know palm trees
