Suzanne started working with glass during her undergraduate years. A friend was taking an art class, and had brought some equipment and supplies home with her and showed them to Suzanne, who was a dentistry student at the time. Suzanne played around with the materials, learned some techniques, fell in love with the medium, and never looked back. While working at a dental lab, she continued working with glass, picking up techniques from the local stained glass store. She sold her first piece of art 4 years after she started creating pieces, and got her first direct commission a year after that. In 1995, she put in (and won) a project bid that included windows and pieces for the altar and pulpit for a local church, which lead to a full-time job at the glass store. Suzanne worked at the store for five years, and then set up shop at her home. Initially, Suzanne created small window hangings, trinket boxes, and jewelry. As Scott encouraged her to attend comic conventions with him, she quickly added science fiction and fantasy pieces to her wares: pins of winged cats, dragons, and wizards. Later on, Suzanne and Scott combined his comic art with her glass technique, and she started producing unique window hangings of superhero logos and comic characters. She has taken commissions from fans of Batman, Wonder Woman, Doctor Doom, Star Trek, Looney Tunes, Stargate SG-1, Doctor Who, and others, and produces officially sanctioned glass boxes featuring Billy Tucci’s Shi and Joe Linsner’s Dawn.
