Sue King is a textile artist and printmaker residing in Lancaster, Ohio. She has served

as artist in residence at 10 national and state parks, and other public lands and created

two self-directed residencies, one in the Bighorn National Forest of Wyoming and the

other in Penobscot Bay, Maine. Her work focuses on the importance of the natural world

and the power of art to educate and persuade the public about the critical need for

conservation.

Sue has exhibited widely in Ohio and other states. Her work has been featured in The

Columbus Dispatch, Ohio Magazine, and Quilting Arts Magazine where she was a

featured artist. She has also written two articles on artist in residence programs for the

magazine, appeared in multiple episodes of Quilting Art TV, and was interviewed about

her work in the national parks on the Quilting Arts Podcast. She was the recipient of a

2022 Print Day in May prize awarded by the prestigious Boston Printmakers for her

collagraphic print, Life in the Extreme. A textile work of the same print was recently

acquired by The Department of the Interior Museum in Washington DC as a part of their

permanent collection.

When not engaged in studio work, Sue enjoys a daily hiking practice, camping in her

new tiny teardrop camper, reading, rewilding her yard with native plants, and traveling.

She is a member of Studio Art Quilt Associates, The Ohio Art Guild. Fathom Arts

Consortium, and the Women’s Art Collective.
