Pacific Northwest artist Sue Coccia based in Edmonds, Washington. With a formal education from the Burnley School for Professional Art, Sue combines technical skill with a lifelong passion for animals and nature. She is best known for her intricate pen and ink drawings, which are meticulously hand-painted with acrylics to create vibrant, symbolic compositions featuring animals from around the world. Each piece incorporates her signature ladybug—a symbol of luck, happiness, and prosperity—woven into the artwork as a subtle reminder of nature’s magic.In 1996, Sue founded Earth Art International, a platform through which she shares her intricate animal imagery while supporting wildlife conservation. A portion of all proceeds goes to organizations dedicated to protecting endangered species and preserving natural habitats. Her work is infused with symbolism drawn from various cultures and timelines, often incorporating elemental themes such as sky, water, and the moon to reflect the interconnectedness of all living things. Sue’s art is not only a visual experience but a spiritual journey. Her pieces represent more than just animals—they embody strength, wisdom, and a sacred connection to the Earth. She believes that by understanding and honoring these qualities, we gain insight into our shared place within the natural world.Sue’s artwork can be found in galleries, national parks, stores, and private collections across the United States, particularly in Alaska and throughout the Pacific Northwest. She has exhibited injuried art festivals since 1996 and is a proud member of the Edmonds Art Studio Tour. Outsideof her artistic work, Sue enjoys gardening, meditation,traveling,spending time with her family,and holds a black belt in Taekwon Do—bringing balance, focus, and discipline to all aspects of her life.
