My home is a TEMPLE where JUNK goes to worship!
My name is Susie Davis, aka, SooZeQue. I was born just outside of Santa Fe, New Mexico and I’m positive that is where my love for art started.
All my life I have dabbled in a variety of different art forms. I worked with clay as a young girl and always tried to draw, but never felt passionate about either one. I’ve loved working with stained glass for about 30+ years and that knowledge led me to the crystal cross bottle art I create. I have also tried my hand at creating jewelry, mosaics, and watercolor painting.
In 2005, after a year of battling ovarian cancer, and 22 years focusing on VP’s and managers as an Executive Assistant and even more years focusing on 6 kids, I decided it was time to take care of me. Life becomes real clear when the possibilities of it being over are in front of you. I quit my job and my kids had all flown the coop by then, so I found myself with plenty of time on my hands to finally delve deep into a lifelong love of creating.
In 2007, I took a welding class and was introduced to a plasma cutter. It was love at first cut and I had to have my own. That started a union between my love for junk store junking and turning all that trash into treasure. I have always recycled and I find pleasure in collecting what other people might throw away and turning it into something truly unique and different, whether as art or something for my home. I enjoy taking something like steel that is so hard and turning it into something that actually looks soft and delicate, as seen in the shovels and wheelbarrows that I cut out. The concept of life renewed fuels my inspiration.
All my work is cut freehand with a hand held plasma cutter. This journey takes me in many different directions figuring out how to use steel and making interesting and unique creations as you see in my f steel guitars, dragonflies, butterflies with old license plates.
I am a self taught artist with only a few classes under my belt. I don’t have an art degree just a love for it and I’ve often said I must have Art Attention Deficit Disorder since I’m usually creating something different as often as the seasons change.
