Ten years of calligraphic work were followed by a deep involvement in book arts where she is best known for her Spirit Books and her advocacy of the educational and personal value of simple bookmaking with recycled materials. She divides her studio time between hands-on work with natural materials and the digital screen and writes\, blogs\, and lectures about the artist’s life and her exploration of the natural world. She recently published The Spirit Books\, a paperback volume with evocative images of 34 of the Spirit Books and explanations of the inspiration behind each one. \nSusan’s work is in the library collections of the Museum of Modern Art\, Bowdoin College\, the University of Arizona\, Wellesley College\, and Yale University.
