Susan Edison, a BFA graduate from Columbus College of Art & Design in Ohio has been an illustrator for 25 years. One of her first jobs was art director of WKRC-TV(ABC) News in Cincinnati, where her court sketches appeared repeatedly on ABC Network shows like ABC World News Tonight, 20-20, and Good Morning America. She has done everything from childrens' books, gardening and cook books, advertising brochures, catalogues and ads, portraiture, collector plates, to fashion illustration. Some clients have included Macmillan, Harcourt Brace, Simon & Schuster, JCPenney, FedEX/RPS, Visa, Pier 1, TGI Fridays, World Trade Center, Mary Kay, and Neiman Marcus.

Susan created her own line of cowgirls and western art. Painting in acrylic glazes, she moves bold color with energy in a stylized realism. Plum Sassy Cowgirls, a tribute to the spirited and tough cowgirl, have been displayed in the National Cowgirl Museum and Hall of Fame and the Montana Historical Society Magazine cover. She was also honored to be the official artist for the Women's National Finals Rodeo. Susan's cowgirls have graced the cover of Cowboys & Indians' W&E cover, as well as being written up by Western Horseman. She is also the exclusive fashion illustrator for famed western designer Patricia Wolf.
