Susan Henry

Susan Henry was introduced to book arts by calligrapher Pamela Hanson Hunter in 1999 but is mostly self-taught.  She studied printmaking during the past year with Selma Bromberg at the Cambridge Center for Adult Education.  In creating soft-cover blank books, Susan seeks to offer not only what is visually pleasing or surprising outside but also what will draw another inside to journal, sketch, write or record poetry or quotes, or in other ways use her work in a unique collaboration with their own.  Previously as a nursery school teacher in Rhode Island and now as a pastor in Arlington, Susan enjoys providing interesting and appealing materials for children and adults to use in collage or other artwork, particularly in response to familiar stories.
