Susan in the Raw~ Contemporary Artist

Figurative Sculpture

Figurative sculptures emerge from the artist's casts, capturing the autobiographical essence of each piece. They reflect the power of personal interpretations of societal norms, viewed through a unique and introspective lens.

Exterior Sculpture

As a designer and fabricator, I create unique sculptures with a focus on space, function, and budget. I believe art is meant for everyone, so I use easily sourced materials like mild steel, stainless steel, and copper to craft affordable, distinctive, and sustainable pieces. The metal coatings of bronze, brass, and copper offer suspended finishes that patina and age beautifully, resembling the timelessness of cast bronze sculptures, all at a fraction of the cost.

Artist

I grew up in Southern Maryland in an environment centered around world politics. My exposure to the complexities of war, human suffering, and casualties both at home and abroad instilled in me a desire to work in the healing arts and create sculptures of peace and hope.  


My work in rehabilitative arts varies from conducting workshops with veterans to creating hospital installations that depict strength in brokenness. I use metal, stone, and glass to craft organic and figurative forms that embody the resilience of humanity. 


 My neo-feminism work features an avant-garde, rugged aesthetic. I design, hand-cut, laser-cut, and assemble sculptures in my 1,800-square-foot studio located on 32 acres of land. I use sacred smoke with all my materials to ionically cleanse the metals and realign the elements after they have been extruded. Mindfulness regarding the message and content of my art is as important to me as honoring the resources I use and minimizing my carbon footprint. I am aware of my responsibility as a steward of the land and metal, using these materials only for meaningful messages that will endure beyond my lifetime and ideally challenge the social norms illustrated in the iconography.  


Art Farm Studio, my Midwest base, is open to other sculptors for extended stays immersed in nature. I also work in North Carolina, Arizona, and Sacramento, California. Team-building activities are available at all studios, and I ship internationally.

UnSculptured Project

#unlikeanywhereelse Council Bluffs, Iowa has rebranded the historic city #unleashcb; and hired ten artists to create "map pin" sculptures to be placed at tourist attractions throughout the city.  Woodford was chosen as one of the first sculptors for this community campaign.
