Susan Hersey is a painter who, for the past twenty five years, has been working with handmade paper as a medium for wall hangings, folding screens, and more recently illuminated sculpture. |

| The sculptures are made of many layers of handmade paper pulp that is sprayed onto an armature of reed and gauze or silk with a twig or bamboo frame. They are then coated with acrylic medium and sprayed on the inside with flame retardant. For optimal sculptural effect they are illuminated from inside with low wattage bulbs. |

| The wall hangings and folding screens are handmade paper and other media on bronze screening. These wall hangings and sculptures are one of a kind, though existing designs can be approximately recreated in concept. She will create custom designs working from color swatches sized to suit a specific situation. With the wall hangings she has done specific designs for stairwells and other unusual areas including curved walls. The sculptures have been designed to create dramatic new environments in homes as well as large commercial facilities. Susan Hersey has been a professional artist in the Bay Area for the past thirty-five years. |
