Time Keeper, a sculpture by Susan Williams
by Keith Busha –
San Juan multi-medium artist, Susan Williams has always been fascinated with the animal form. She became obsessed with painting rabbits – if it didn’t have long furry ears she was simply not interested in the subject.
Rabbits became artistic narrators of periods of her own life. She quickly moved into sculpture as the preferred medium. Some examples of her work were recently seen by the editor of the nationally distributed Art Doll Magazine. As a result her rabbits are featured in the Spring 2017 Quarterly edition under the title A Journey With Rabbits. In the article Susan shares some her technique and passion for her art.
Her creations now include many animal forms. The pieces incorporate textile arts, precious stones, gems, beadwork, painting, dyeing, feathers, vintage materials etc.
Her work can be viewed by visiting her studio this weekend as part of the open 2017 San Juan Island Artists’ Studio Tour.
Susan’s friend, Cindy Gislason of Dragonfly Studio will share her jewelry work during the studio tour.
Please come visit her burrow and the creatures that live there. Say hello while enjoying live guitar music by Keith Busha from Noon to 2pm on Saturday and Sunday.
