Susan Labouri was born to her passion for animals and painting. Raised by her artist Mother at Big Bear Lake in the San Bernardino Mountains of southern California, she found it natural to pick up a pencil and draw the subject she loved and was surrounded by: wildlife.
Through her school years, she continued to draw and paint to develop her artistic skills. In her early twenties she went to New Zealand on vacation, a decision that would lead her to an adventure that would last 18 years and take her to places of which she had only dreamed. From New Zealand she went to Australia, where she lived for two years and met her French husband, Daniel. They lived in New Caledonia for two years waiting for their sailboat to be built in France.
