Expo of Heart Art Show 2008
In honor of the founder of the Expo of Heart, Susan Q "SusieQ" Wood...

There will be a special one woman art show of her recent works. Susan Q Wood is the founder of the Expo of Heart and produced the event for seven years, but you may be surprised to know that she's also a painter. She sold the Expo to Conscious Living Partnership (CLP) in order to focus more on her artwork. She is also the publishing editor of Natural Awakenings' Broward Edition of the healthy living, green monthly magazine.

Best of both worlds --- you can only imagine how delighted Susan was when Ms. Burnett, owner of CLP and new producer of the Expo of Heart, proposed that Susan host her own one woman art show at the upcoming 8th Annual Expo of Heart, to be held at the Broward County Convention Center, Sunday, February 24th.

February 24, SusieQ will be at the Expo, not as the show producer, but as a representative for Natural Awakenings and as an artist. She states, "I've painted all my life... my work spans through the psychedelic era into a very realistic period. Now my work is considered to be akin to quantum expression -- a variation of the impressionist style with the concept of limitless possibilities."

Her passion is creating uplifting artwork for home and/or office. Her work raises environmental awareness. SusieQ states, "Just as each individual brush stroke is complete unto itself, yet affects the whole; so it is with each of us becoming 'green', knowing, that we are collectively creating a global sustainable environment". She lectures on her artwork and global climate harmony and will be giving a mini-workshop at the Expo of Heart on how to Embrace the Creative Process to Uncover Your Desires.

As an environmental event artist, she has participated in local events such as Water Matters and Earth Day at the Museum of Science and Discovery in Fort Lauderdale. A portion of proceeds are donated to "green" non-profits. She is aligning herself with green concerts, documentaries, and television shows.

Join SusieQ at the Expo of Heart. Enjoy a wide variety of lectures and exhibitors, a wonderful food court, live music and, of course, SusieQ's uplifting artwork in the "Central Courtyard." She will be in booth #76 and will schedule in a few special commissioned pieces live at the show. Visit her website for further information. She can also be contacted through the Natural Awakenings office at 954-630-1610.
