Episode 16: Welcome to this week’s episode of Art Is... a podcast for artists where Susan Hensel, a multidisciplinary artist with an emphasis on digital textiles, shares several insights into the art world. Her story originates in creating with clay to craft dinnerware. Today, Susan is a Gallerist of an online gallery and makes various sculptures out of material goods and digital processes. 

Throughout her career, her goal remains the same. She wants the viewer to have an experience; to find peace and slow down. Her goal as a Gallerist is for emerging artists to have an easier route to having their art seen. She hosts several online exhibitions featuring artists from all over the nation, and makes it a point to gather those in the MidWest of the country to share their art with the greater world.

Join Isotta on today’s episode as Susan takes us on her career journey from clay to digital textiles and sculptures; and learn how it’s possible to have your art seen, recognized, and eventually sold.
