Suanne received her undergraduate degree from a private college in Michigan known for its academic and foreign study programs, providing her an opportunity to travel and study extensively throughout eastern and western Europe, as well as the Middle East. In between her undergraduate and graduate work, she studied for three years with master sculptor Jay Holland at The Center for Creative Studies in Detroit, learning the foundation of figurative sculpture and anatomy. Continuing her art training at Pratt Institute in New York, Suanne earned a Master of Fine Arts degree in 1991.

Since 1991, Suanne has made a living exclusively as a sculptor, working for various studios in New York, New Jersey and Chicago. Her main focus has been on sculpting the human form, with a special emphasis on portrait studies and commissions, many of which can be seen as permanent installations in museums across the United States as well as Mexico and South America. In addition to the figurative work, Suanne is building a strong and growing clientele for her canine sculpture-- highly detailed and cast in sterling silver, bronze and marble.

Working professionally as a sculptor has also added a deeper dimension to her skills as a sculptor instructor-- serving as the head of the sculpture department for two separate Fine Arts Academies in Long Island since 2004.
