Susan Beaupre is a native Floridian but chose to make the big move to Boulder, Colorado about a year ago. Her family, (a husband, two boys, and their feisty, Jack Russell terrier, Sadie), are enjoying the scenery and are feeling inspired with all that Colorado has to offer.
Susan grew up in Florida and attended the Savannah College of Art and Design in Savannah, Georgia, where she majored in Graphic Design and Illustration. A few elective classes in jewelry arts soon fueled a passion that would guide her down an unforeseen career path. After graduation she braved the advertising world and taught elementary art for several years, still always creating art herself. After the arrival of her two children she began creating jewelry professionally.
All of Susan's work is handmade and totally created from start to finish by the artist herself in her Boulder studio, where she works primarily in silver using the lost wax process and embellishes her work with semi-precious stones. She is inspired by the natural world around her and enjoys displaying uplifting, positive " feel good " messages and iconography on her pieces - something everyone can relate to. Enjoy!
