Susan Barth's fascination with three dimensional art and ornament was always there as a child but her formal exploration began after being accepted into New York City's High School of Art and Design where she studied sculpture for two years. Later on, she decided to take an intensive six-month course in jewelry making where she first learned about the Lost Wax Process, a technique where your design is sculpted into a block of wax and is then cast into your preferred metal. Susan's work has been described as subtle, understated and elegant which was always her intention. "My pieces are designed to be just one element in the visual story a person tells about themselves as they present their individuality and uniqueness."
