Susan Buchenholz lives in the southeastern
corner of Arizona. She has been an artist (primarily a stone sculptor for
over 35 years). She studied at Pel's Art School, the Art Students League,
and The New School for Social Research (all in NYC) as well in private
study with several known working artists in the New York area. Some of her
early exhibitions include Lynn Kottler Gallery (3 East 65th Street),
WomanArt Gallery (41 West 57th Street) and with the Washington Heights Art
Show, Inc. (Fort Tryon Park) She was invited to participate in the
traveling exibition for the Banks in Manhatten as well as Le Salon Des
Nations A Paris. In the mid-1980's Susan emigrated to Arizona and showed
in several Bisbee Galleries and in the late 1980's Susan's jewelry was
offered in the Tucson Museum of Art Shop. Early in this decade she took
part in the Huachuca Art Association's Art in the Park event and was one
of the early participants in Tucson's Down Town Saturday Night (where she
was known as the "Earring Lady" creating and offering one of a kind
jewelry designs). Several years ago she returned her focus to fine arts
and specifically to stone sculpture. Showing at the 26th Annual Sierra
Vista Art Festival Grand Opening of the New Gallery in May of 1996 she won
the First, Third and Honorable Mention awards in Sculpture. In 1997,
Susan's work was represented by Jane Hamilton Gallery in Bisbee. In 1997,
having recommited to her chosen path she returned to school to learn
techniques for welded sculpture as well as web design and further study in
the use of color.
Currently represented by Connections Contemporary Fine Arts more of her work may be viewed there.
