Our January 2010 Featured Artist is Susan Dilger.
After searching for a creative outlet from her busy life as a Retail Executive in Los Angeles, CA, an epiphany in a bead store led Susan to Metal Clay. After retiring to Taos, New Mexico in 2006, she has pursued new techniques to better express her ideas and keep her work evolving. She enjoys working with a large range of materials in addition to Metal Clay, including Sterling, Copper, Brass, Bronze, fibers, leather, stones and "found objects". Her organic, earthy look is continually inspired by her surroundings. A recent collection of mixed media work was triggered by a visit to petroglyphs and rock art near her home.
Her web site is susandilger.com and she can be contacted on Facebook at Facebook.com/susan.dilger
