In 2008, Susan exhibits at the Muskoka Arts & Crafts Summer Show in Bracebridge July 18-20, and opens her studio to the public for the second annual Artists of the Limberlost Open Studio Weekend August 16-17. She is a guest artist at the Apsley and District Autumn Studio Tour September 15 and 16, and in December she shows in Toronto at Karen Franzen’s Annual Holiday Studio Sale. She is also participating in the Village Artisans fine craft and art collective gallery in Port Carling.

Susan began designing and fabricating stained glass windows in 1980. She studied drawing, painting and design at the Ontario College of Art and Design, and has completed numerous courses and workshops in a variety of glass techniques. She began fusing glass in 1988.

To create an object of fused glass, shapes are cut from specially formulated sheets of clear and coloured glass, and then composed to create a design of multiple layers. The composition is then kiln-fired to about 1500° F at which point the fragments melt together and create a single solid piece of glass. To form a bowl or plate, the fused glass is kiln-fired again, this time over a mold. The influences of heat and gravity "slump", the softened glass into the mold, creating a three dimensional object. The glass used is food-safe, so her work is functional as well as decorative.

Susan’s award winning fused glass is sold in fine craft galleries, including the Shutterbug Gallery in Huntsville Ontario, and The Guild Shop in Toronto’s Yorkville.

In addition to fused glass, Susan continues to create stained glass projects by commission, often incorporating fused glass. Her home-based studio is near Huntsville Ontario.
