“A Boy Has Dreams”

The figurative bronze work of Susanne Vertel incorporates both spiritual and aesthetic elements into a personal vision that has gotten her critical acclaim from both peers and collectors. Vertel comes from a premise that the figure is a vehicle for expressing the underlying and often unconscious deeper focus of the mundane activities of everyday life. Her focus is often on the many faces of woman, from her austere Russian “Babushka” series to her graceful nudes,  there a peacefulness that permeates her work to touch an inner emotional space within the viewer.
