Award-winning artist Sue Coccia is from Edmonds, Washington, in the northwest of the USA. Her grandmother's grandmother was Native American, and that tiny bit of heritage has had a large influence on her art.

Indigenous art, and its relationship with the animal worlds, has also influenced Sue’s unique style. A deep love of all animals was instilled at a very young age and Sue has dedicated her life's work to them.

She is also the author and artist of Colour Your Winged Spirit Animal Guides, published by CICO Books.
