Welcome to my website. I will be keeping you apprised of my exhibitions, publications, and lectures on my Home Page. My Journal page features my current work in progress, images from recent travels, research snippets, and everyday reflections.

Winter is gradually winding down. We’re experiencing some warm spring-like temperatures mixed in with grey, colder, rainy days. I tend to get a lot more quality studio time when the weather is challenging!

Perhaps my most exciting news is that Detroit Contemporary Gallery in Detroit has sponsored a full color catalog of my Endangered Series. This 80-page catalog is available for purchase in hard cover through the gallery’s website. You can preview the on-line catalog and order a copy at Detroit Contemporary’s website www.detroitcontemporary.com. Many thanks to gallery founder Aaron Timlin, director Bri Hayes, and designer Yuen Hom for bringing this lovely catalog into existence.

I continue to show my sculpture locally in the Detroit Metropolitan area. Most recently my work was part of The Actual Size exhibition at Detroit Contemporary.  In November I participated in a group show called Curiosities at the Annex gallery in Highland Park. The Garage Mahal gallery in Royal Oak displayed a grouping of my work in September. In June I had sculptures in the Birmingham Bloomfield Art Center’s Michigan Fine Arts Competition and was awarded the MFAC Award for my Endangered: Red Wolf.

My Endangered: Great Lakes Piping Plover is part of the 61st Annual Juried Group Show at the Masur Museum of Art in Monroe, Louisiana. Show dates are February 22-May 4.

This has been a fertile year for me artistically. My Endangered Series continues with the addition of a recent foray into Endangered Plants. I am most grateful for the abundant gifts the universe has provided and look forward to what is revealed to me in the year ahead.

I’ll leave you with a quote from my mother, Fran Aaron’s memoir, “Being Alive at Ninety-Five”.  She transitioned September 11, 2015. Rule #3 from her secret formula for living into your nineties is, “Give your guardian angel a blessing for aiding your continued ability to remain physically and mentally healthy.”

With appreciation and blessings,

Susan
