media. It is the one tool that doesn't!
(Continued from page 1)
Where are you from? Where did you study art?
“Military family, hate the saying "military brat." My Father was in the Navy. I have had the privilege of living all over the
United States and also in London, England.
Hated moving at the time, but looking back on it, it has made me the person I am
today! Most recent adventure took me up the coast of Italy with my sister,
Katelynne. We are hoping to get another
trip on the books soon. Spent the majority of my childhood in East Amherst, New York just outside of Buffalo.
I graduated from the Florida State
University in 2010 with a degree in
Advertising and a minor in Art History.
After graduating, I moved to Washington, D.C. for my first job in marketing, at an
organic tea company. Only stayed there for about ten months, then accepted a
new job back down in the Sunshine State. Living in Orlando ever since!’
How long have you been painting?
“I have been painting since I was a child. I grew up doing anything and everything
creative. Even my Kindergarden teacher
knew I was going to pursue something in the arts.”
With all that moving, did you ever feel like giving up?
“Nope, there are just times when I don't paint. I'll go months without touching a
brush but will find other ways to fulfill that creative void. Still there is nothing like
starting with a blank canvas or wall and
completely transforming it into something beautiful... all on your own terms.”
What advice do you have for aspiring artists?

ART
2. There are opportunities to showcase everywhere. Do not be afraid to ask. If
you are passionate about your trade it will
come across and people will want to learn more. More importantly people want to
see more. 3. Hard work beats talent, when talent doesn't work hard. You have to work at it. You have to put in time.”
What's the best thing about being an artist?
“My favorite thing about being a part of this community is how many people I
have met and will meet because of it. Art
is one of the easiest ways to connect with another person. Everyone has their
favorite song or movie, favorite graphic designer or muralist. Art makes people
talk, connect and grow. As competitive as the art community is known to be and in many aspects is... it pushes you to
develop new skills, use new mediums and collaborate. “
What's the worst thing about being an artist?
“Oh geez, the amount of clothes I ruin with paint.”
What inspires your works? “People. My favorite quote and the main inspiration behind my current and
upcoming works is, "A quarter of the
genes found in humans are also found in bananas.... Get the f–ck over
yourself." The mustaches and lips that people are familiar with are going to
become one part of a multi-piece portrait – think Mr. Potato Head but installed on a
Danielle Hein
We need to stop taking ourselves so seriously.”
Who is your favorite artist?
“Too many artists to choose a favorite.
Not to mention, I am sitting in a hotel in Miami trying to get ready to head to
Wynwood for Art Basel. I have seen so
many new works in just the last 24 hours! In no particular order I am currently looking towards these artists for
inspiration: Peter Tunney, Holton Rower, Andy Warhol, RONE, Eduardo Kobra, Picasso, MadSteez, Abstrk, and Seth Globepainter.”
What types of mediums do you work with?

“From The Inside Out” By Rosemarie Isabel (Continued from page 1)
Focusing on embracing herself as a
woman, changing the model into a role
model, being Model Miner to Professor Miner and always there for hands-on
help. Susan has definitely caught the eyes of many not only through
magazines but also through words of wisdom. Listening to Susan Miner as she tells us her story will undeniably rejuvenate your being and life!
Q: How did you start modeling?
I started when I was about 13 years old, and I went to a small modeling school
called La Femmina Modeling Center and I had to convince my mother to let me
attend, she was against it for months but finally let me go. It was a very small
school however I ended up getting a
contract for Ups and Downs Antics, which is now a clothing store for casual corner which lead me into becoming their
spokesperson and doing other jobs on the side. Therefore I started off at a
modeling school and from their agents found me, it took one agent from New
York to find me and from there they sent
or learn how to be extroverted, therefore learned to be extroverted and also
modeling helped me gain plenty of
confidence, when I finally realized that I could have confidence because in my
early 20s I didn't but it clicked one day,
that I could be genuinely confident and I can be comfortable in any setting, and
that's something else I learned through
modeling, I feel comfortable just about
anywhere because I've been around the world and I've been in different
situations, so I'm very comfortable and
modeling also offered me opportunities
to travel and have financial freedom at a
very young age and then afforded me the opportunity to go to school and live a nice lifestyle.
Q: What point in your life did you feel or know that
modeling was always for you?
I don't know if there was ever one point I realized that, I actually never questioned it. For example, when I was really young
around the age of 12, I made one of my
walls in my bedroom an entire collage of
different models; I literally taped a million
photos on the wall. Now today I know that is called a manifestation board from there it just materialized for me thus I didn't
ever question my work as a model if I
should be here or not. It just rolled very easily for me.
Q: You have a company called 'Beauty from the
Inside Out.' - what is this exactly?
Beauty from the Inside Out is everything I do now. If I'm working with young
models, I'm talking about their beauty from the inside out that I define
astheiinner peace, their inner confidence, and their inner wisdom because that always affects our beauty.
Q: What made you create this company? After modeling I went to school and while I went to graduate school, I became a
counselor and a psychology professor, I
did workshops and ended up enjoying it. After years later, I decided to put
modeling and the counseling together
because no matter where I went, even 10-15 years after I was a model, I
considered myself a professor, I'd go to a party and people would say, "Oh Susan the model!" And.......
