About the Work

Susan Freda has received numerous awards, notably a residency & exhibition at the de Young Museum, Pilchuck Glass School Grant recipient  & a Pollock Krasner Award. Her work can be found in numerous public and private collections.
Transparency, form, line and her deft use of material such as woven wire, cast glass, and painted surfaces, invoke intimate, calm, emotive responses. Freda imbues her pieces with an ephemeral presence and ability to catch light and create shadow.  Her pieces envelope viewers in a seductive, entranced space. Their transparent and interconnected forms and jewel-like nature reference nature, fashion, and spirit. Her work explores the transient, poetic, and ephemeral experiences of our world—intimacy & emotion, and offers a space for their consideration.
