February's Featured Artist Spotlight: Stained Glass and Quilts by Suzan Cormier-Liu

This month, we are welcoming Windham multimedia artist Suzan Cormier-Liu to the Leach Library as our Featured Artist. She has assembled a vibrant display of her whimsical pieces in the display case right across from the circulation desk. Stop on it to take a peek at Suzan’s work through the end of February!

Quilting in Glass and Fabric

Suzan captures the joy and spirit of animals like horses, dogs, backyard birds, and bees in glass as well as the colors and spirit of our local area in fabric. She says:

I have lived in Windham for 49 years and have been active in all types of fabric art since I was 7 years. Stained glass has always fascinated me since I was very young. In 1988 I took up making stained glass (which is quilting with glass) and have been doing craft fairs and placing my pieces in consignment stores ever since. Now that I am retired, I would like to have a wider circle in which to showcase my passions. If you are interested in any custom orders, here is my contact info: Suzan.cormier@comcast.net
