Susan Drozda: Shoshone

Born: 1942 now lives in St. Louis, Missouri with her husband.

Susan Drozda's Guardian series began 25 years ago. They emerged through her paintings,
sculptures and drawings, offering messages for each piece.
Susan stands back, "gets out of her own way", and just lets it happen.

She grinds her own pigments from ochres found along the creek beds, combines these powders
with tree resins and glues. There are no pre-conceptions when she begins to create.

Susan surrounds herself with stone, bones, wood, shells, artifacts, bear and buffalo hair ....
just about anything the lends itself to the finished artwork.
