2023-10-31T11:53:44-04:00News, Art|

Back in the Land of the Living with some energy and lots of gratitude Hi there my friends! I am sort of back to the land of the living! I am 6 months into a year of healing from a complex broken leg and just starting to get around on a cane. While I still look pretty pitiful, my doctors and therapists assure me I am doing as well or better than can be expected from this serious an injury. GEESH! Had I known what I was in for, I would have chosen a different injury! […]

Saying “Yes” | Opportunity Knocks

2023-02-15T18:30:09-05:00Articles|

Saying “Yes” When Opportunity Knocks I just sent out a New Year’s Newsletter  from Susan Hensel Gallery + Projects.  The responses are mostly “Out-of-office” replies that need to be looked at.  But there are also sweet, nice emails from friends and clients.  The “kudos” that we all enjoy when then arrive. The social network responses about how hard I work.   I do work hard, I guess, between an appalling number of appointments and administration tasks. But I also work with great joy. I am always experimenting on multiple fronts at all times, assembling parts and ideas until, seemingly all at once, multiple pieces come together and are completed. So, while it looks like I suddenly made 3 new pieces, the reality is that they have been kicking around the studio, sometimes for months, before I have to put my foot down and “finish it up, dammit!” […]

The first session  of  Marketing, Communications and PR for the Art World was all about brand development. […]

Finding Your way | Persistence | Susan Hensel Projects

2023-10-31T11:37:16-04:00Articles|

Finding your way takes persistence and maybe a few wayfinding devices. [su_custom_gallery source=”media: 11383,11382,11381″ limit=”7″ link=”lightbox” width=”310″ height=”310″ title=”never”] Finding your way takes persistence and maybe a few wayfinding devices. It is easy to get myopic in the studio.  We artists tend to get caught up in the details: each blade of grass offers an opportunity to linger. And then…there are the droplets of dew!!!  Oh My!  It is all so beautiful! Awe inspiring!  I could gaze at it forever! Such GREEN! Green is a hard color to work with…what am I gonna’ do? Is it going to be a painting?  Where’s the canvas?  Or shall I stitch it?  Maybe beads? OOPS!  I forgot what I was doing! […]

Being a public facing artist | Make Art | Susan Hensel Projects

2022-08-05T00:20:22-04:00Articles|

Being a public-facing artist? “What on earth does she mean?” People make art for lots of good reasons. For some artmaking is a hobby, fit into their days and weeks for the sheer pleasure of creation.  They may sometimes share/give away the artwork to trusted friends and family. They may display the artwork around their homes. For some, making art is a way to understand themselves.  It is therapeutic, soothing, a mostly private act like journaling. For some it is a spiritual act, like prayer or meditation. For some of us, making art is or becomes a passion that produces more art than one can display at home or in the homes of friends and families. […]
