If you'd like to come and study with me here in Wooster at my studio, please check out my current Turtle Art Camp schedule and information. It's a biosphere of a place to live and work in for a week or any number of class days you decide on. Begun in 1994, Turtle Art Camp is alive and well. In fact, it's kickin'!
Helping people find their instinctive and joyful aritist's voice in classes at my home since 1994. Specializing in drawing and painting with airbrush and airpen, but also with regular drawing tools and brush painting. Students can expect to machine quilt one of their daily camp paintings at the end of their camp week.
Above is a front view of Turtle Moon Studios, when the crabapple trees are blooming in the Moon Garden. (The Moon Garden has a cement turtle in it, too, so that proves that this is Turtle Moon Studios.)
Turtle Art Camp 2012 schedule:
Note: For 2012 I'm giving a $50. discount to each person who comes to camp with someone they know, whether it's a friend or a relative.
The exact dates listed here are the Wednesday when you travel here and the next Tuesday, when you travel home. The five days in between these travel days are the actual camp class days.
March 14 - 20 (includes a glorious St Patrick's Day party and dance contest!)
April 11 - 17
May 2 - 8 (includes an exciting El Cinco de Mayo celebration at Turtle Moon!)
June 6 - 12
August 8 - 14
September 5 - 11
October 3 - 9
These camps all have a Wednesday travel-in day, followed by five days of class, then a Tuesday travel-out day. Turtle Art Camp is in Wooster, Ohio. You will fly into and out of Cleveland Hopkins Airport, unless you drive here.
Each camp can have from 2 to 5 students, living for a week here at Turtle Moon Studios in Wooster, Ohio, and studying my processes of working with pens, markers, and optional airpen; painting with brush and optional airbrush; and turning a painting into a quilt you'll assemble and sew in my unique way. This is the only place where I teach airbrush painting.
The camp fee is $1,000. per person for a regular weeklong camp, which is five days of class and two travel days, and $200 per day per person for mini camps made when two or more people who know each other decide to create a special camp here, outside of the scheduled weeklong camps. All prices include art supplies for the projects in the class plan, breakfasts and lunches, and your bedroom.
Please read the full information about Turtle Art Camp, before you contact me to sign up for a camp. Thank you!

Here's a detail of my third finished large piece of 2012, "Trayvon Martin: 8 of Wooden Spoons in the Kitchen Tarot." It's in my 2012 Gallery, and tells the story of the events of this young man's killing and the aftermath so far, of how we as a people have responded to it. It is my sad prayer for tolerance and racial unity to overtake the racism that we cannot any longer deny is still very alive and much too strong in our society.
Check out the 2012 schedule for Turtle Art Camp page. Both of you get a $50. discount on your camp fee, if you come to camp with a friend. :)

This is the mural I painted on our garage door in Fall, 2008, to replace the aging mural on the front door. It's my Personal Landscape with Jimmy and me, Gretchen, Mike, and Eva, Obama, and the Statue of Liberty, and all of our and GEM's cats, and a little St Quilta the Comforter down in the bottom left corner, sending out Peace vibes. Its message is "Power to the People: Heal the Earth with Unity and Kindness."
Susan Shie news:
Nov 16, 2011: Check out my 2012 Turtle Art Camp schedule. Note: I've just decided to give a $50. discount to each person who comes to camp with someone they know, whether it's a friend or a relative.
May 31, 2011: "Stars on the Water - the Oil Spill: 5 of Paring Knives in the Kitchen Tarot." I am finally able to put images of my Quilt National piece on the internet. (Exhibition rules keep us from posting them until after the exhibition premiered in Athens, Ohio at the Dairy Barn Arts Center on May 27, 2011.) I have added a full page to my 2010 gallery, so that you can see large images of this piece and read my long statement about it.
Aug 26, 2010: Watch the interview video of me at my solo exhibition at the Festival of Quilts, Birmingham, UK, August 17 - 22.
July 21, 2010: The Kitchen Tarot is now in print! Buy the Kitchen Tarot at Amazon. It's a deck of the 22 major cards of my Kitchen Tarot art quilts project, which I began working on in 1998. The deck comes with a small (same size as the cards) user guidebook by author Dennis Fairchild. The publisher is Hay House.
The guidebook and deck are together in a box that's 53/8" x 37/8" x 1". Now you can browse the contents of Denny's booklet on our Kitchen Tarot page at Amazon. I won't be selling the deck online, so buy from Amazon, please!
AND you can follow our Kitchen Tarot news and adventures, like links to blogs and radio shows that cover the KT, at the Kitchen Tarot Cafe Facebook page.

You can read all about this in the last update page. A deep thank you to everyone who contributed to the project over its 15 years, especially to Robin Schwalb and Michele Merges Martens, my GREEN QUILTS co-organizers.

Tarot Readings from Lotus Tarot. I found this
site and did a sample reading, and it was just like i was doing the reading
myself, with my own cards. I reallly liked it and hope you will, too. It
reminded me of the little astrology program I use, which is a Mac hypercard.This
is just a very simple site, and you click on the cards you want to select,
after concentrating on your question. Then they give you the meanings of
each card you'd chosen. You can even archive up to ten free readings on
their site, and you can have endless readings.
