Susan Ogle

Artist Susan Ogle lives and works in Cordova, Alaska. Before moving there in 1987, she and her husband spent ten years paddling their kayak in Prince William Sound. They guided guests on trips for part of the time, but their true mission was exploation and discovery. They moved to Cordova to become full-time Sound residents. Owners of a small bookstore named Orca Book and Sound, they promote reading, art, and environmental causes. Susan paints every afternoon, usually large oils of the flora and fauna of the area, but she is sometimes tempted to illustrate a story she loves.
