When Grief Comes as Wolf Disguised, by Susan Yanos


Artist Profile- Susan Yanos

From Henry County, Indiana, Susan Yanos is a fiber artist who "paints" with fabric to create art quilts. Sometimes blending traditional and non-traditional quilt design elements, many of her quilts are inspired by her native Hoosier landscape and by what she sees and does on her farm. Susan was a member of the 2023 cohort of the On-Ramp Creative Entrepreneur Accelerator, which teaches entrepreneurship to artists and creative professionals by focusing on a portfolio career, a community-engaged artistic practice, and key business concepts.

Susan is also the first place winner of Intertwined II: A Contemporary Fibers Exhibit, the newest exhibition at the Anderson Museum of Art. The exhibition aims to include innovative work rooted in traditional fiber materials, structure, processes, history, and art that explores unexpected relationships between fiber and other creative disciplines. You can experience this innovative exhibition through August 2, 2024, and learn more on the Anderson Museum of Art website.
