Susan
Kliewer, a native of California, has lived in Arizona for nearly 30 years,
five of them at Marble Canyon Trading Post in a remote area of Northern
Arizona near the Colorado River. A painter since the age of 10, she turned
to sculpting in 1987 after working in an art-casting foundry for 10 years.
Susan won a competition to create a monument of Sedona Schnebly. The ten-foot
tall bronze figure was installed in front of the Sedona Library in 1994.
Her life-size fountain portraying the Sinagua people and a fountain of
a Hopi Water Maiden are also found in Sedona. More »

Susan's
current work includes two traveling exhibitions:
"Beyond
the 98th Meridian: Images of the American West", currently on display
at the Braithwait Fine Arts Gallery in Cedar City, Utah (on the campus
of Southern Utah University) and then to The Heritage Museum in Utah as
a component of the 2002 Winter Olympics.
"In Celebration:
A Century of Arizona Women Artists" traveling from Desert Caballeros Western
Museum, shown at the Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, and opens
Nov. 2nd at the Phippen Museum in Prescott, AZ.
As of this
date Susan has just delivered a 1.25 life size "Maria" bronze to Santa
Fe, NM.
"My work,"
she says, "aims to show the common thread that underlies all human experience,
and which I hope brings us to a greater understanding between all peoples."
She often uses her Navajo friends and grandchildren as models to capture
that special intimacy which is the hallmark of her work. Her depiction
of the ways of Native Americans in everyday life, from the past as well
as the present, has attracted major collectors from all over the world.
