LOVE JUNKIN

LOVE JUNKIN

Hi, I’m Sue! I am so glad you’re here.

Welcome to my little corner of the web! It’s colorful and messy here… just the way I like it!

I would definitely consider myself a creative addict. My addiction started in grade school when I doodled and designed clothes for my Betsy Wetsie Doll. Then by the age of five I fell in love with my Kodak cube flash camera and created my own version of award winning memory books. When I got my first Nikormat camera, I discovered I could create magic through my lens.

These mediums continue to inspire me and I love to throw my heart into all sorts of artzy projects— but my passion taking a piece of old furniture that some is about to snap or drop at the Good Will and restore it into something new and beautiful.

  • My absolute favorite store is, hands down, Artzy Junkin. Sue, the owner, possesses a unique talent for turning a dilapidated shack into a masterpiece that captivates you, making it nearly impossible to leave. Stepping into her store offers a fresh experience every time, as she constantly introduces new ideas and incredible products that ignite your creative desires. Sue's warmth and infectious energy not only excite you but also make you believe in your inner artist. What makes it even more amazing is that she has remarkable teachers who are honored to lead classes at Artzy Junkin. So, without a doubt, this is my go-to place—it's simply the best! Susana E.

  • Artzy Junkin is where my passion for painting started. There is such a wide variety of products to create pieces that look old and vintage to bright and funky. Sue helped me learn how to use the products and her projects were displayed to give me inspiration. Taking classes proved that even as a beginner you can create something beautiful. I also made a life long friend.

  • I’ve had the pleasure of participating in an array of different classes with Sue over the years. I’ve brought my daughters, my friends, my family in for projects and everyone, in all the age ranges, have been so impressed! She has such a warm and welcoming approach to art (and life!), teaching/sharing, creativity, and supporting your vision coming through with your own pieces that it is simply infectious… you leave having learned much but also with that spark of inspiration that sometimes goes missing. I always look forward to see what new offerings she’s got on the books and try to book early because the secret is out!
