Seek and Ye Shall Find | Susan Hensel Projects

2021-07-09T14:04:56-04:00News, Exhibition, Articles|

Seek and Ye Shall Find | Susan Hensel Projects Art is still out in the world as well as online I look all the time. I look deeply at other people’s art every day. Seeking opportunities every day. Finding opportunities every day. I get opportunities sometimes! I’ve had kind of good run-on opportunities lately.  Taking chances has paid off.  This does not mean that I have avoided rejections, even dearly desired opportunities have rejected me lately.  It’s simply part of the process.  But sometimes you really do get lucky by taking a chance.

How I Arrived Here | Susan Hensel Projects | Textile Study Guild of NY

2021-04-01T16:40:29-04:00Articles, Embroidery Art|

“I am always amazed at how I arrived here, steeped in digital embroidery, making hard edged sculptures from soft materials!”   Chromatic Wave    ( I was  honored recently to be featured in a profile on The Textile Study Group of NY website with a stellar group of textile artists who work sculpturally! Do check out the other profiles.  Enjoy!) [su_divider] My background and training are in the arts with a BFA in sculpture and painting.  I worked for many years in ceramics, many years in papermaking, many years in book arts and many years as a gallery director. My “hobby time” was thoroughly fiber: hand spinning, sewing, hand embroidery. Materials with their haptic and scientific qualities always obsess me. […]

Old Gallery – New Space! The Art Gallery To Visit | Susan Hensel Projects

2021-03-11T18:00:40-05:00Articles|

The Art Gallery To Visit Old Gallery – New Space     Susan Hensel Gallery Merges With Susan Hensel Projects Most of you reading this may know something about me. To compliment my studio practice as Susan Hensel Projects, I have a deep history owning and directing art galleries. It started with Wyrd Sisters in Okemos, Michigan with 2 friends, Sue Ann Long and Linda Kalinich. We ran an art education facility and small gallery in a haunted building! It was a funny little building, one of the oldest in the area. It started as a dry goods store, I think with a hitching post. Then it was a dentist office, and a photography studio, among other untold things in history! It’s also worth noting that tools disappeared and reappeared in mysterious ways. No matter your take on that information, my new venture is the next art gallery to visit. […]
