Susan’s Journey Has Provided Her Great Recognition
“As an artist, I find the beauty and structure of embroidery thread is qualitatively unique. It traffics in optical color perception providing a lenticular opportunity due to the tri-lobal structure of the thread and its ability to bend light.” To quote Jane McKeating, “Color drips off the needle every bit as richly as from a brush.” – Susan Hensel

Her desire to present her artistic epiphanies, through works of brilliance, continues to this day. She continuously motivates the art world, on a global scale, and in a compelling manner.

Fine Art Embroidery Is A Great Investment
Many people tend to look at textile art as an investment. Some may say that collectors prefer to invest in textile and embroidery art. Why? Other than it being gorgeous works of a creative mind, sprucing up your home décor, or simply because the work speaks to you, textile art stems from ancient roots. The fact that textile art is one of the true, original, art forms creates desirability among collectors. Radiance of culture and monetary appreciation also makes textile art the perfect addition to any art collection or home. Throughout history, we have seen a significant rise, across the board, in the textile art form. Thus, cementing the belief that textile art forms are one of the pillars of a fine art collection.
