Susie McCardle Susie McCardle of Laurel is the Artist of the Month for November at the John Hollingsworth Gallery of the National Wildlife Visitor Center. Her choice of materials is charcoal and acrylics. McCardle has always enjoyed the outdoors and wildlife, and has operated a successful residential landscaping company for over 18 years. However, the artistic expression of wildlife and nature did not become part of her life until 2000, when painting became an outlet for the grief she experienced after the tragic loss of her dog in a car accident. This avocation has also helped her cope when other tragedies such as deaths in her family, and when challenged by a bout with cancer. To improve on her skills, she has taken classes at the Dorothy Redding Academy of Fine Arts in Columbia, Maryland. Don’t miss this opportunity to see Ms. McCardle’s first public exhibit.
