About me:
My Website - susangt.com
My blog - http://sculpturepdx.blogspot.com


I am a professional studio artist working in 3D using a variety of materials including copper, brass, aluminum mesh and clay. I also teach mask-making workshops to children and adults.

My work has been exhibited in galleries, used in theater productions and commissioned for outdoor use in a meditation garden. I have also created one of a kind masks for clients to wear to masked balls and for use on stage.

One of my favorite mediums is copper. I work in the traditional repousse' style creating both free-standing and wall-hung sculptural landscapes as well as ethnic portraits. I have incorporated repousse' as one of the elements in my Shapeshifter multi-media box series, which also includes a clay sculpture, aluminum-painted mask and an original short story. The picture in the profile is one of the Shapeshifter series entitled, "Polar Bear".

"The Seasons" is another series just completed which features a unique combination of metal and paint. Each season - Fall, Winter, Spring and Summer - stands about 3 feet high and is sculpted out of metal mesh.
Who I'd like to meet:
I already have a website so I see MySpace as a way to network with more people who are interested in art. This can include art discussions, design, exhibiting and collecting.

Hi! Just checked out the pics, etc., on your blog. Looks like you all had a lot of fun! Congrads on getting selected to be in the art studio tour! That is great! I sure wish Fresno had more fun artsy stuff going on. Have a good weekend! D.

Hi! Sounds like the class was fun! Did you get any pics of their work? Would be fun to see! We have just been busy finishing a big job. Getting to the end of it - one of the last things to finish is I get to do a repousse piece for the fireplace. It is an image of the family dogs - two lab heads and two pug heads taken from photos. They will be surrounded by pine needles and cones. This will definitely be the most difficult one I have done, but it will be fun and challenging! Glad the election is over - hopefully things will start to settle down in the economy a bit.... Have a good day! D.

Hey there - with regard to the metal frames, in the past, we have used pop rivets to attach the copper to the steel or sandwich the copper btwn two metal "frames" and weld the metal together or screw it together. It all depends on the application. Certainly feel free to ask any questions, I will share everything I know. :P d.

Hey there! Well - I have framed them a couple of ways so far, one is just with a metal or copper frame, with bar stock or something with no glass or another great way to do it is use a shadow box type frame. That gives it added dimension, too. Hope that helps! D.
