Traveling the state holding Art Adventures for students and teachers, Pico also does commission work, and offers private lessons and Art Adventures for small groups in her Clinton area studio, Sue’s Art House, 166 Primrose Lane, just off Burnt Ridge Road.

Pico's art reflects a cheerful outlook that overcomes daily struggles and reflects the love of Christ. “Life is full of challenges; Art helps lift us above those challenges to encouragement and delight. Enjoy the expression of your own art, be inspired by the art of others and realize the love expressed in the work of the Ultimate Artist, God.” says Pico regarding the inspiration of her work.
