ABOUT THE ARTIST

Suzanne Stumpf’s ceramic sculptures inspire reflection and introspective contemplation on a broad array of subjects spanning from the fragility and degradation of our environment, to the extraordinary beauty of the natural world, to sociological questions and concerns that are part of the challenges of the human condition. Suzanne’s first career and ongoing work as a professional musician contribute undercurrents to her work as a visual artist. One result has been her creating multi-component, “interactive” sculptures that allow for innumerable permutations of the work, such as would be possible in performances of a musical composition. For these works, the viewer is urged to participate in rearranging the parts, resulting in a variety of interpretations of the work. Many of these works have garnered prizes in national juried art exhibitions. Her sculptures have been included in numerous art publications and featured at such museums as San Angelo Museum of Fine Arts, the Fitchburg Art Museum, the Nora Eccles Harrison Museum of Art, and the Danforth Art Museum, among others.
Her work also includes wall-sculpture, stand-alone sculpture, and functional ceramics, all created with food-safe materials.
