Suzette Knudsen

Available at the Alberta Craft Gallery Edmonton & Calgary

Suzette received her BFA, majoring in ceramics, from ACAD (now AUArts). Over the past twenty years Suzette's ceramics practice has been multi-dimensional, including both teaching and studio components. She is a long time instructor at the City of Calgary Arts Centres while also maintaining a busy studio practice.

A short walk from Suzette's home studio on the west side of Calgary reveals magnificent views of the Rocky Mountains. Geese flying over head and the abundance of wildflowers in a nearby green space are a frequent reminder of the amazing place she lives and works. Suzette loves escaping to the Alberta foothills where she finds inspiration in the natural environment from trees, animals and especially native flowers.

Her creative path continually evolves as life experiences and her environment weave their way into her work while her strong Scandinavian aesthetic developed from her early years in Denmark are constant influences
