“I am a storyteller: I tell stories with words, and I tell stories with clay. Susannah Israel's sculptures reveal a gritty yet passionate view of humanity, drawn from city life. She gives lectures and masterclasses in diverse communities across the western states and mentors with the Color Network. Israel’s expressive work is widely exhibited and held in the collections of the Archie Bray Foundation, Auckland Museum NZ, Mint Museum, UConn Art Collection, Yingge Ceramics Museum, parks and libraries, and many other sites around the world. Selected honors include the Fletcher Challenge Premier Award, Gottlieb Foundation grant, Virginia Groot Award and others.
