Susan Fay Schauer John is a terrific textile artist and artist in general and is partnering with Gail Patterson to create the Spiralis Gallery. She’s also our guest this week in a show sponsored by Sassy Jacks Stitchery. For Susan it was a decision between science and art. Art won, hands down, and we are the beneficiaries. Her art career includes wood turning, oil painting, and colored-pencil “painting.” But she found her home when she started using pieces of cloth to create a base and detailed free-form sewing to bring her subjects to life. The result is captivating art. Susan’s art will be exhibited in the newly established Zebra Gallery, which will be co-located with the Spiralis Gallery in Easton, MD. Susan and Gail Patterson (Fiber Talk, 10-8-23) are partners in the Spiralis Gallery. The grand opening for these galleries is Nov. 3, 2023 and the premiere exhibition will be “Woman, Phenomenally.” The opening reception will be Oct. 28 at 4:30 p.m. Eastern and feature an artist talk by Ernesto Beckford. We hope you enjoy this week’s show, invite to listen to last week’s conversation with Gail Patterson, and encourage you to visit the Spiralis and Zebra Galleries when you’re next in Maryland.–Gary
