Susan Galick Fine Art

Growing up, Susan Galick was never one to sit still and watch television. “I still don’t watch TV, I have to be doing something,” she says. When she was a young stay-at-home mom on the shores of Quesnel Lake, she made extra money by selling the crafts she would sew or knit.

After she moved to the Lower Mainland, Susan ran her own fashion shop and then learned to make soap and sold that online. Unfortunately, her husband became sick so she had to put her business plans on hold. “I had already started painting for myself to decorate our home. When he passed away I started doing it more seriously until I opened my own gallery.” She launched Susan Galick Fine Art Studio in 2013.

Art and crafting have been her passions and she feels lucky that she has been able to turn them into a career. “Everything to me is about the creative side,” she explains.
