About the Artist

Sue Hayes retired in 2018 after a distinguished career with Costco Wholesale, where she spent 34 years, including 15 years as the wine and spirits buyer. Her role allowed her to travel extensively through the world’s premier wine regions, interact with influential figures in the industry, and study with renowned experts. Her dedication to the field earned her the WSET certificate and induction into Bordeaux’s Commanderie du Bontemps de Médoc.

After retirement, Sue sought to explore her creative interests. During a relaxing stay in Hawaii, she encountered a local artist offering painting classes on the island of Kona. Inspired by the experience, Sue discovered a newfound passion for painting. Upon returning to Washington State, she began creating commissioned watercolor and mixed media art, with her works reaching clients across the USA and as far as the UK.

Sue further merged her love for art and wine by launching her own wine brand, Rain Shadows, featuring one of her paintings on the label. Today, she leads Sip & Paint events throughout the Pacific Northwest, sharing her passion for art with others. Sue finds great joy in guiding new art enthusiasts as they create and proudly display their own paintings.

✨ Spaces are limited, so reserve yours today and join us for an evening of fun at Steps Fall Sip & Paint!

🍾 Cheers to New Leaf Inc. for their incredable work providing employment for adults with disabilities and donating their amazing space!

Celebrating 40 Years!

The Toddler Learning Center (TLC) - now Steps - was established in 1985 in response to a pressing need for early support services for families with young children with disabilities or developmental delays. Recognizing this need, TLC was established as a place where families could receive the critical services and resources they needed, setting the stage for decades of growth and a lasting impact on the community.

For 40 years, Steps comprehensive, compassionate, family centered approach has been fueled by our commitment to support children and families. Steps services provide families with the therapy, knowledge, support and tools they need to actively participate in their child’s growth and development - turning moments of struggle into stories of joy and resilience.

By celebrating our 40th anniversary with us at Steps Fall Sip & Paint, you're not only in for an evening of fun and music, you're also helping support Steps mission to provide vital services to children and families.

Together, we’re taking steps to ensure our youngest islanders find their footing and set a course for lifelong success. Come paint, celebrate, and make a difference!

Thank you for your support!
