Rainforest Garden

Fiber & Mixed Media
"Octopus Garden 9"
9" x 6"


The last piece I own from Susan Sorrell. She does incredible work. So vibrant. So tactile. You can easily get lost in the imagery, always discovering something new every time you look at it.

She also teaches classes on how to create your own piece: Creative Chick Studios and Joggles.

Underwater Landscape

Susan Sorrell
Fiber & Mixed Media
"Octopus Garden 6"
9" x 6"


Created using personal sketches and doodles, symbolic images, photos, image transfers, fabric pieces and painting. Then, layers them on top of each other after resizing them accordingly to the main fabric piece. She then embellishes them with applique pieces, beaded and thread embroidery stitches. All hand stitched. 

Her pieces easily sell well into the hundreds and low thousand dollars.  She has been internationally published in Stampington Studio publications, as well as other publications, where her work has been a main focal point.

“When I draw ideas from my life, I create artwork…I like to use my life and what is happening in the world (from my perspective) as themes in my artwork.” – Susan Sorrell
