With four Best Of Show Awards, numerous honors & distinctions, over a dozen one-woman shows and group exhibits too numerous to mention, Susan Simon continues to paint, teach, bead, and play her wooden flute.   She   holds a Masters of Fine Arts degree   and divides her time between Colorado,   Iowa and New Zealand.

  Although inspiration comes from far and   wide, Light, Nature, and the Ancients   are the strongest concerns in Susan   Simon's work.  For many   years she has   been deeply interested in the play of   light, shapes and patterns in nature, and the spiritual/decorative elements of the First Nations.  These concerns, coupled with the themes of Solitude, Journeys, and Celebrations of the small and ordinary are hallmarks of her award-winning work.

The theme of Journey, in both the Pathfinder and Storyteller series, is Susan's highly unique visual poem. It expresses the importance for the all of us to find our way and tell our own story.   The ALL of us - Stone, Tree, Child.  Even the fallen Leaf.
