SUSAN POLIS SCHUTZ grew up in the small country town of Peekskill, New York. In 1969, she and her husband, acclaimed artist Dr. Stephen Schutz, moved to Colorado, where their intense love for each other and their desire to be together at all times prompted them to begin silk-screening posters of Susan's poetry and Stephen's artwork. From this union of their talents and love, SPS Studios was born. Today, Susan is the author of eleven bestselling poetry books, and her poems have been published on millions of greeting cards. Whether she is writing about her feelings on motherhood, her love for Stephen, her fondness for nature, or her thoughts on life, her heartfelt words are the ones people look to for help in understanding and expressing their own emotions.
