Susie Bevins

Mrs. Bevins is an artist. She did a couple of art pieces for William Tyson Elementary School and she told us she did art pieces for other schools too. She has been an artist for about 17 years. In some of her work she also does a lot of split personalities like light and dark .

Susie's personal background is Inupiaq Eskimo. Susie's ethnic background is Inupiaq Norwegian. Her mom is Inupiaq Eskimo and her dad is Caucasian. She was born at a trading post in Itchy Point, Alaska, (East of Point Barrow). Growing up she was raised by a native family. She was married at the age of 18. She had kids at the age of 19 to 21.

When she is stressed and has a lot of stuff on her mind her art calms her down.
