Episode 118: My Mother, My Father, Myself, Part V by Susan Lasater

Susan Lasater is a writer, poet, and painter. She earned a BA in Visual Arts from Boise State University. Her work explores the nature of invisible disability through visual representations of pain and healing. She writes about her rare conditions, the travels for treatment across the country, and the antics of living with another artist and their two adventurous dogs who star in illustrations at Ardilla Fusion. When she’s not creating, you can find her suggesting interior design adjustments to her husband and researching how to garden without bending, twisting, or lifting, all while managing the effects of her body’s often unstable, faulty connective tissue.
