For a one-person fine art exhibit titled “Figures Of Speech” at the Caplan Art Designs Gallery Sue Clancy has written “I like to read books and possibly because I was a deaf child I have a fascination with language and figures of speech. So I enjoy creating animal characters and visually playing with words, phrases and meanings while keeping an eye towards love and laughter because we need hope, humor and kindness.
I work by hand using ink, gouache, color pencil and acrylic.”
A printed artist book album of Figures Of Speech by Sue Clancy is here: https://www.blurb.com/b/11594402-figures-of-speech
Part of the exhibit Figures of Speech appeared in June and July 2023 at Burnt Bridge Cellars (winery exhibit photos below). Clancy shared her sketchbook pages that led to this exhibit via her email newsletter here.

A poet in the UK named Ivy-Rose Opal wrote 5 poems inspired by Clancy’s 5 Doodlebug paintings. Both the poetry and the artwork are paired together here https://ivyroseopal.substack.com/p/prompt-4-doodlebugs
