We’re looking forward to introducing you to Sue Klahne. Check out our conversation below.
Sue, really appreciate you sharing your stories and insights with us. The world would have so much more understanding and empathy if we all were a bit more open about our stories and how they have helped shaped our journey and worldview. Let’s jump in with a fun one: What’s more important to you—intelligence, energy, or integrity?
Integrity
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
I’m a South Florida based contemporary ocean inspired artist, working primarily in acrylic & resin. I’m most well known for my modern aerial ocean perspective in my paintings. I also enjoy painting sea life & botanicals that can be found where I live.
Thanks for sharing that. Would love to go back in time and hear about how your past might have impacted who you are today. What’s a moment that really shaped how you see the world?
Losing my son,Justin unexpectedly 2 years ago has dramatically changed how I look at the world. I have a much clearer perspective on what & who are important in my life.
What did suffering teach you that success never could?
Suffering has taught me to try my best to show kindness to the people I love and to complete strangers. We never really know what a person is going through on any given day.
Alright, so if you are open to it, let’s explore some philosophical questions that touch on your values and worldview. What would your closest friends say really matters to you?
Mental health awareness. There is so much stigma surrounding mental health.
Thank you so much for all of your openness so far. Maybe we can close with a future oriented question. When do you feel most at peace?
At home, painting in my studio or spending time with my husband & 2 whippets
