About The Artist

Sue began "making jewelry" when she was about six years old....  She and her sister, Annie, used to take the leaves from poplar trees and link them together, stem to leaf, to make necklaces.  Her grandfather was also an inspiration.  As a young man he had worked in a circus as a one armed jewelry maker.  Using copper wire to make chains he formed necklaces, bracelets and rings. Later he used old silver tableware to form other pieces of jewelry and household items such as drawer pulls.  Sue's daughter, Terry Kennedy, is also a jewelry designer and has provided technical advise and encouragement to her mother.  Thus with much support and guidance from her family and friends in 2000 Sue designed her first hand crafted piece of jewelry.
