Born in Chicago and raised in Colorado, Sue moved to California after college to work her for the United States Public Health Service as a RN. Once in the city she worked with female physicians for the first time and returned to school to pursue a career in medicine. Sue trained at Cook County Hospital in Chicago and returned to San Francisco to complete her residency at Kaiser Hospital in Internal Medicine. Over the years she worked as a hospitalist/intensivist, a staff physician at the Marin Community Clinic, and spent 20 years working as an ER physician. Finally, as an end of career slow down, she worked another 10 years in an inpatient psychiatric hospital within the California Medical Hospital state prison. Sue picked up a pencil for the first time at the age of 60 and found she loved to sketch and draw. A couple of years later, with new stresses related to Covid obligations and restrictions, she began to draw prolifically as both a coping technique and as a passion. Now retired, Sue has artwork in three galleries as was accepted into the Windslow Art Center’s Winter 2021 art show. Her work can be seen on line at suesommerfinearts.com.
