Susan L. Storey
Expressive learning and intuitive discovery is what rings my bell. My primary work revolves around sharing the use of creative energy for the expansion of consciousness. I have a whole website and blog dedicated to this at SusanLewisStorey.com . Here, in the live/work studio, my focus is on the things I enjoy expressing in paint media, textiles, and fiber art. While entering shows and submitting work for publication was something I once enjoyed, today I prefer encouraging others to show their work. I think shows are a great experience, especially for those who have never entered or for those trying to build a career with their work. As for me, I prefer to focus on the work itself and my own introspective creative process. I'm especially fond of sharing my work through my One Woman Show & Tell, sharing the process of creative introspection. Below is a list of some of the past publications, awards and shows featuring my work. Thanks for visiting the website, and I hope to meet some of you who also enjoy creating from the inside out.
