Bio

Susanne Henry is an American jewelry artist and metalsmith, in Chicago. She graduated from Rhode Island School of Design with a BFA in Industrial Design. Susanne works in steel, exploring material and technique, structure, form, scale, and movement. She is a self-taught artist who has exhibited in many juried and curated exhibitions, including MAD About Jewelry at the Museum of Arts and Design in New York City.

Statement

My work as a Jewelry Artist is rooted in a love for design ideals, art and fashion; and the belief in craftsmanship and focus. I frequently take on challenges, and much of what I create evolves from there. A challenge can be technical, material, or conceptual. I gravitate to working with steel, liberating me from the preciousness of traditional materials, and putting the emphasis on the art of it. Steel provides the advantages of exploration and experimentation, light weight and strength. It challenges me to create something thoughtful and compelling out of an industrial material.
