Suzanne Pickett Martinson
Phoenix, Arizona native Suzanne Pickett Martinson feels
fortunate to enjoy the amenities that a Southwestern
lifestyle has to offer. Her work on Outdoor Style: The
Essence of Southwest Living tapped in to many areas
that are close to her heart.
Suzanne's love of gardening stems from observing her mother
tend to lush roses, colorful bougainvillea, and exotic
plants, and from eating fresh fruits and vegetables from
her maternal grandmother's and aunts' gardens in West
Texas. Her father, born in Mississippi and raised in
Louisiana, passed on his appreciation of a good front porch.
A former public relations professional and event planner,
Suzanne's freelance writing career focuses on gardening,
architecture, home design, entertaining, animals and
parenting issues. Her articles appear in Phoenix Home &
Garden, The Arizona Republic and its specialty publications
including the former lifestyle pub azStyle.
She received a BFA in Broadcast Journalism from Southern
Methodist University in Dallas, and a Master's degree in
Mass Communication as well as a teaching certification from
Arizona State University.
Suzanne, her husband John, their two children and five cats
live in the Phoenix Metro area with a variety of native
wildlife under the shadow of Camelback Mountain.
