Although born and raised in the
Midwest, Susan Lenz has always traveled, spending much time in
Austria and Italy. These experiences have been translated into
a love of textiles, textures, and cultural diversity. She has
studied under several internationally renowned fiber artists and been juried into numerous national exhibits.
With needle and thread and collage techniques, Susan hopes to
convey a feeling of appreciation toward all things old and rustic
as well as adorned and exotic.
