Susan Stewart was born in 1952. A Vancouver photographer, she collaborated with models Persimmon Blackbridge and Lizard Jones for an erotic, overtly lesbian, postcard art book, Drawing the Line, which evolved from an art show and a video. Forty photos of lesbian lovemaking 'extend the interactive nature' of the art show, with viewers' supportive and/or critical responses included on the back of the images. The trio share authorship as the 'Kiss and Tell' collective. They released a similar follow-up volume in 1994.
