Susan Hensel has a career that spans over 50 years and she is currently a Textile sculptor. The conversation we had led me to these takeaways. First, life is not going to present itself to you the way you thought it would but can learn how to persevere. Next, sometimes we are the last ones to admit we need a change and those around us are waiting for us to catch up to what they already know. Third, focusing on the process rather than the outcome can help you get and stay excited about discovering new things about yourself, your art, and life.

Susan Hensel is a textile sculptor known for her artists books and her innovative fiber sculpture. Hensel's artwork is known and collected nationwide, represented in collections as disparate as the Museum of Modern Art in New York and Duke University Special Collections.
