A potter and a ceramicist, Susan is attracted to both callings. Transforming lumps and slabs of clay into vessels or objects for a functional and decorative purpose touches only on the beginning of her daily studio work . From there, she explores the tactile and visual textures of the clay, layering slips and glazes. Finished works are inspired from the surface of the earth’s changing landscapes of texture and color.
She is constantly motivated onward to explore surface textures and incorporate them into finished pieces. She is a “form maker”, her inner child playfully creating a visual experience for both the user and herself.
