Suzanne designs, creates, and hand paints one-of-a-kind studio furniture.

Neutral basecoating readies the piece for it's decorative painting which Suzanne designs in-process, combining colors, shapes and textures. She completes the process with four or more coats of clear sealer.

"I'm interested in the challenge of actively combining opposites to reveal their commonality: mixing method with madness; balancing opposing colors, shapes, textures, and fabrics; turning traditional into modern, ordinary into extraordinary."

Once, at an exhibit, a man asked me, "What kind of people buy this furniture?!" Without hesitating, I replied, "Happy people!" I've never found a better way to think of it.
What might inspire me matters far less than what my furniture might inspire in you. It's still a joy to watch the faces of people as they look thoughtfully, begin to smile, then turn to me asking "did you do this?" Sometimes I have the same reaction.

A workshop at my home on a lush wooded property in Franklin TN allows me to create furniture in a beautiful natural setting with trees, birds, flowering bushes and great friends and neighbors.
