My name is Susan Olga Linville. "Olga" is the artist within and this is how I sign my paintings. It was my grandmothers name.

I live in an old farmhouse in rural Indiana with my husband, 7 cats and 1 dog!

I was a pet stylist (fancy for dog groomer) for 20 years, but had to give it up for health reasons. I still needed to do something to supplement my husbands income and at his encouragement decided to try my hand at selling my little paintings.

I am self-taught and get loads of inspiration from my own pets and those of family and friends! To be able to combine my two greatest passions...art and animals AND make a few bucks at it is just the best...I'm loving it!

I've illustrated a childrens ABC book for E&E publishing! It is available to you now at your local bookstore, Barnes & Nobles, OR Amazon.com. I would be happy to sign your copy if you like...just send me an email at havenwood86@gmail.com. Lucy says "thanks for looking at my mom's stuff!"
