How was “Lady Sue” born?
I get asked this question all the time. Over 10 years ago, the guy I was dating had a niece who couldn't pronounce her K's very well. So Katie quickly became "Lady." My boyfriend at the time and his family started to call me Lady because of it. Eventually, my best friend started to call me Lady from hanging around with him and his family with me. I worked with my best friend though, so Lady followed me to my workplace. It got to the point where I legitimately started responding to Lady and still do to this day. Truth be told, I've never been a fan of the name Katie, so I took the name Lady and ran with it. When it came time to decide on a name to call my painting business, Lady Sue Designs just made sense to me. While I mostly paint canvas, I love the challenge of designing new things for people to cherish.
