Susan
Point
Musqueam, Coast Salish |
 |
| Born in Alert Bay in 1952 while her family was on a fishing trip, Susan Point
was raised in Vancouver and has lived there since. Susan Point is
internationally renowned as a gifted artist of extraordinary versatility.
She is a prolific artist acclaimed for her serigraphs, totem poles, drums,
carved panels, glass etchings, jewellery and monumental sculptures created
in a wealth of materials. Point is best known for her contemporary and
highly original interpretations of traditional Coast Salish iconography.
Traditional designs from historic spindle whorls have inspired her to create
as a printmaker, jeweller, glass artist and carver. Susan Point is
committed to bringing Coast Salish culture to the attention of a wider
sphere of people and reviving traditional carving and art forms of her Coast
Salish culture. |
