The Classics Line by Art of a Woman is a brilliant celebration of nature’s colors and forms. It includes one of a kind hand painted silks and custom design jewelry.
Semi precious stone jewelry is custom designed to complement the tones and colors of the individual hand painted silks, resulting in breathtaking combinations. Whether worn with a dressy outfit, or more simply with just jeans and a plain white shirt, the Classics Line is an easy instant approach to looking fabulous, no matter what kind of hair day you may be having!
The Classics Line also includes an array of functional clay forms glazed in a high fire gas kiln. All glazes are lead free and food safe.
After being individually stretched on a custom made frame, each piece of hand painted silk participates in a ritual involving the selection of just the right leaf/fern from the artist’s extensive gardens. Susan prefers to paint outside during the summer and fall months when weather conditions permit. Sun, wind, and fog from the ocean all contribute to differing outcomes in the painting process. Susan has developed several non-standard techniques of silk painting that create unusual explosions of form and color in a beautiful celebration of nature. One of her quirky methods is a non-standard marbling technique she has developed using brushes made from clusters of fresh cut grasses. The results are breath taking.

Classic Jewelry
One thing does tend to lead to another in life. For quite some time, several established Art of a Woman clients had been eyeing the jewelry that Susan had designed for her own personal use to complement the scarves she wears. After years of adorning Art of a Woman Goddess Line sculptural forms with a combination of sterling/gold/copper wire and semi-precious stones, Susan had accumulated quite a treasure trove of beautiful pearls, stones and crystals. Naturally, a few of these items made it into jewelry that the artist made for herself! It was a short step into custom designing jewelry for clients to complement Art of a Woman hand painted silks. Emphasis is placed on the integration of pearls, stones and crystals in an unusual, yet harmonious and feminine style.

Although artist Susan Hazzard goes out of her way to let people know that she does not view herself as a potter, her high fire ceramic pottery is eagerly awaited and sold out each year. Priced below market value to support Susan’s belief that it is good to let go of the heavy things in life, each piece is functional pottery designed for everyday use. All glazes are lead free and food safe. Oven and microwave use are not recommended.

The very heart of Art of a Woman is expressed in the many feminine sculptural forms that Susan creates. Ranging in size from a small clay goddess ornament measuring only 5 inches, to 3 foot tall open form feminine vessels, Susan reaches back in time to a place where women of all shapes and sizes were celebrated and where old age was revered and honored. An extensive collection of original design work is expressed in various wall altar formats and glorious high fire glaze combinations. Each piece of work is named for the experience, the energy, or the woman that inspired its creation. Annual custom design commissions are accepted on a limited, non-rush basis.
