Susan has been
making jewelry, costumes and props since she was a child; professionally
since the mid 1970's. Her work has been featured in theater,
commercials, movies and various costumed events. Pieces are
owned by collectors around the world.
An active participant for over 36 years in the original Renaissance
Pleasure Faire, she began to show her work there in the late
1980's. It was her favorite venue for almost two decades and
for years her designs were focused on the protocol set by the
Faire and similar themed events. She has left the "faire
circuit" to concentrate on more promising environments
and to pursue designs that have been "kept on the shelf"
for too long.
Born and raised in Long Beach, California, Susan still lives
there with her husband and three dogs,
three cats and a three-legged rabbit named Willie. Recently,
she has discovered the world of computer art and web design
and is fascinated by it. "I could never give up making
things with my hands though, it fulfills a side of me that data
and statistics do not". She holds degrees in Architectural
Design and Psychology and plans to pursue a Master's in Psychology.
She has been active in animal rescue and rehab, substance abuse
therapy and civil and disability rights. |
