Sue Talbot was born and raised in Maine. Although she spent summers at the family's summer camp, she did not develop a passion for the outdoors until her early twenties.
That's when, as a young wife and mother, she took a weekend course in fly-fishing with some instruction on fly-tying. Soon, she was a passionate enthusast of both activities.
"No, it doesn't necessarily make me a better fisherman, it enhances my fishing experience," she told NEWS CENTER.
Next, she was taking a wood carving course at the Gilley Museum in Southwest Harbor. She listened to the experts and started reading everything she could about the art.
Although her college degree was in Commercial Art, Sue worked in the family garden center. However, her carving evolved from advocation to vocation. Her hand carved and painted songbirds sell for prices between $600 and $3200 dollars.
"With my work, I aspire not only to emulate the beauty of the subject, but to honor the spirit as well," she has written. Her patrons, who commission her work would agree.
