Susan has immersed herself in the study of traditional Coast Salish art, and emerge with a language of design both authentic yet vibrantly contemporary. As well as practicing traditional motifs, Susan also expresses her own personal style. Susan initially began producing fine art in precious metals, serigraphs, woodblock prints and acrylic paintings. Her fine art pieces can be found in collections worldwide. Susan’s images are also sought after by corporate sector for logos and sensitive environmental issues. In 1990, she began exploring and creating large scale public art in various mediums; some of those mediums being stainless steel, glass, bronze, concrete, wood, terra cotta and forton casting. Her work in a large scale has since led to collaboration with developers and architects; integrating her art into sights at the design stage. After several projects were realized, it was obvious Susan was leaving a Coast Salish footprint upon the land. Susan’s large scale works welcome visitors at the Vancouver International Airport as well as public buildings and corporate developments on both sides of the Canada/U.S. borders paying tribute to the First People’s of these countries and reminding us of these areas rich in culture history. Susan is realizing her vision, which will, no doubt, inspire artists and admirers for generations to come.
