About Sue Chastain
Sue Chastain is a self-taught graphic designer, illustrator, and writer.
She has an Associate of Science degree in Interior Design Technology. While studying interior design, she developed an interest in graphics software, and found that much of her interior design training could be applied to graphics and design.
After teaching herself graphics software and design, she began teaching it online though articles, illustrated tutorials, and reviews. After writing about graphics software for more than 15 years, she shifted her focus back to freelance design and creating graphic art, which she showcases on her web shop, SuziQCreations.com.
At the suggestion of a friend, she began creating coloring pages for adults from the detailed pattern designs she created for her own enjoyment. Her intricate coloring book designs are hand-crafted and digitally enhanced to produce crisp and sharp lines of the highest quality.
When not designing, drawing, or writing, Sue can usually be found enjoying her backyard oasis--soaking in the pool, listening to music, or reading--often all at the same time! She resides in rural Florida with her husband and two dogs. Her favorite color is red.
From Sue: "Creating these designs has given me many hours of relaxation and joy, and I hope that coloring them will do the same for you."

Last week, I listened to a teaching about reading the Psalms prayerfully and meditating on them by reading them slowly and quietly out loud by yourself. I've been doing this the past several nights and it has been so good! It has been this practice of prayerfully reading the Psalms that inspired me to write this... poem?

For this set, I've got an eye toward autumn. You can never go wrong when you look to nature for color inspiration. God is the original artist, after all.
