Welcome to Su Currie Creates! I am a retired teacher, now living at the lake. Since retiring, fabric art and carving have become my passions.  I take inspiration from my natural surroundings; the texture of rocks, animal fur and feathers; the form of various flora and fauna; and the vibrant colours of sunsets as I watch in awe from my dock.

 

Through my fabric collages, I try to capture the beauty, textures and impressions of things that move me.  I use a variety of materials such as cotton, burlap, wool and sometimes even paper, to create unique, hand crafted pieces of art.  I strive to draw the viewer in closer by including an element of surprise or intrigue in each piece of work.

​

My carvings, created mostly from soapstone and limestone, also reflect my love of nature.  In them, I endeavor to carve simple forms that invite the viewer to want to reach out and touch.
