Western sculptor Susan Kliewer pays a visit to the Medicine Man Gallery studio and discusses her long and difficult road to becoming an artist with host Dr. Mark Sublette. Susan chronicles the wonderful story behind her ascent to finding her artistic footing including (but not limited to) winning her first art show at age 9, declining a scholarship to a prestigious LA art school, and smashing gender barriers working in an Arizona foundry in the 1970s and 80s. We hear about Susan's time on the Navajo reservation and how working at a trading post led to the adoration and appreciation seen in her bronze sculptures of the Navajo people. From Orange County to Sedona, Hawaii to the Royal Order of Jesters in Indiana, this is one episode of the ART DEALER DIARIES if your struggling as an artist you won't want to miss.
