Susan McClellan - Illustrator

Susan McClellan is an artist from South Florida. Having moved to Plantation with her family at three and a half years of age from Baltimore, Maryland, she considers herself an “almost native” to South Florida .  She has a Bachelor’s in Design and Master’s in Architecture from the University of Florida in Gainesville.  Today, Susan is a practicing architect and interior designer in Fort Lauderdale.  Watercolor has been one of the mediums she continues to use in her practice. She does many historic preservation projects utilizing watercolor. Her love of history and its details also has led her into drawing renderings for books on local people and history.   As a big believer in “giving back”, Susan has volunteered on city advisory boards and committees, lending her professional expertise where it is requested. She is an active member of the Gold Coast Watercolor Society. For more information about them, visit their website at https://www.goldcoastwatercolorsociety.com/.
