Susan Savory was born and raised on the banks of the Susquehanna River in upstate New York. She moved to the seacoast of New Hampshire in 1980, after completing her BFA in Illustration at Parsons School of Design. She has experimented in almost every medium: painting and drawing, glass, clay, fiber and metal, and has shown her work in galleries and museums throughout New York, New England and California. She currently creates illustrations, largely for children’s books, in cut paper collage, pencil and gouache. Her most recent personal work is an ongoing series of collages built with vintage photographs, letters and book pages, found and created papers, inks, graphite, and paint.
