For the MIPCES catalog, Susan Hyde wrote:

“This piece is a portrait of my mother from her high school photograph in 1929 when she was 18. I have always loved the picture. After much reflection, I decided on a standing piece with wings for support. It ties in with my obsession for angels, and certainly reflects my feelings about my mother, who died of cancer when I was 9.”

About

I cannot remember a time in my life that I wasn't interested in looking at art, talking about art and the making of art. In 1990 I earned a Phd in art history at the University of Maryland. My first experiences with polymer clay were in 1992, but I consider my real work with the medium to date from 1999.
