My husband Jeff creates the base of this work and I add the color.Susan Hemley has worked as an Artist, Costumer and Set Decorator for over 20 years. She has a BA from Hamilton College where she majored in Studio Art with a concentration in sculpture. Many of her early works were walk in installations which she parlayed into set decorating in later years. Susan costumes and decorates for theater, film and special events with an emphasis on using repurposed and upcycled materials whenever possible. Her costume and decor workspace is located in The Theater For The New City where she also serves as Costumes, Props and Scenic Elements Manager.
