Collapse 1

Part of the Neotectonic Series of beautiful works concerned with climate change. Can we, perceiving the beauty, altruistically change our behaviors? Coral reefs are collapsing- buried treasure, never to be seen again.

I was awarded a residency at Virginia Center for Creative Arts in 2021 to create a body of works on paper that relate to a new series of sculpture. The series, ultimately, was named Neotectonic Period.

[su_box title=”Susan Hensel” box_color=”#2a6bb0″] Susan Hensel is a multidisciplinary artist, with a 50+ year career, who combines a mixed media practice with embroidery across digital and manual platforms. Susan received her BFA from the University of Michigan in 1972 with a double major in painting and sculpture and a concentration in ceramics. With a history, to date, of over 200 exhibitions, more than 30 of them solo, twenty garnering awards. Above all, Hensel’s desire to communicate stories through art continues to be a powerful motivator. Hensel’s artwork is known and collected nationwide, represented in collecting libraries and museums. [/su_box]
