Sue Hoots was born in the small, coastal town of Ogunquit, Maine. Known by its motto, “Beautiful place by the sea,” the town becomes an artists’ colony every summer. Beginning in the 1890s, hundreds of students flocked to the town to learn from famous teachers each year. Today the town is home to the Ogunquit Museum of American Art, with a collection of over 1,600 works of art.

“We lived right on the Atlantic beach,” said Sue. “It was a summer resort area, with art everywhere and a summertime theater. We would spend entire days at the beach when we weren’t in school. It was a typical New England seaside town.”
