Artist directory :: Sue Wren Visual ArtistFolkloric dance honors the cultural roots, resilience, and lived experiences of farmworker communities in the Skagit Valley, These dances reflect traditions passed down through generations-stories of labor, family, celebration, and resistance. They also remind us of the legacy of Cesar Chavez, whose work organizing farmworkers, brought national attention to dignity, fair treatment, and social justice for those who harvest our food. Through music, movement, and history, folkloric dance keeps this past alive while inspiring continued respect and solidarity today.
Folkloric Dance
Some of my photos included students at Mount Vernon High School Mariachi and Folkloric Dancers. Ramon Rivera teaches mariachi song and dance at MVHS, helping connect kids with their culture. Mr Rivera was recently named Washington Music Teach of The Year.
About
The power of narrative, or story telling is at the foundation of much of my art. A single picture creates a complex and descriptive moment in time. I enjoy crafting and documenting new forms of a visual short story.
I grew up in South Seattle living in Holly Park Low Income Housing then graduated from Rainier Beach High School. I continued my education at Central Washington University and graduated with a Fine Art Degree from the University of Washington. I have traveled extensively and lived for a time in the South West. I make my home in the Skagit Valley in Mount Vernon Washington.

2022Today but who are you in 200 yearsOut of the blues
Sitting and listening to music has not been the answer to my blues BUT talking to friends and new friends has brought me back to ME.
Time to move
My butt not my location. Pandemic has made me go into my mind and wonder about consciousness and the body that it is in. Moving my mind to active....why did my mind choose to not move.... not my friends or family interaction that is great...but my mind to create. Everything is in front of me....all the tools to excite my self...but it is not happening. Only I can come up with the answer.
The Solo Artist
I hate walking into a gallery that is quiet, each footstep being heard. My art along with so many other artist are worked on with noise noise noise all around them. Messy studios, pot ashes, wine glasses, music playing.
Pandemic
I have aged during Pandemic. I have discovered Korean Drama and sit hour upon hour watching, not moving, decaying. I argue with the 3 me's inside my mind.
