Susan Clinard

biography 2 of 3

Whether she is sculpting from models or using memories from her diverse background, she uses Nature’s raw forms to narrate the struggles and joys of her subjects. Susan often finds beauty and truth in life’s most challenging times. Her passionate observation of the human body and of its distortion by life has given her a profound knowledge of human nature. Together with her extensive sculpting skills, it enables her to capture the individuality of her subjects and to create sculptures that express strong and vital emotions.

In addition to her figurative work for which she has been awarded scores of commissions, Susan Clinard began experimenting with waxes, found wood, and textile eight years ago. Inspired from her puppetry theatre work, she incorporated mixed media to her ceramic and stone sculptures.
