Susan Kruszynski
Dr. Susan Kruszynski is an award-winning landscape art quilter and educator. Her art quilts range in sizes from 3”x5” to 40”x60”.
Feeding her artistic nature, Susan, at age 8, started experimenting with fabrics to produce colorful creations. She began landscape fiber art design with collage art quilts in 2014. A native of Michigan, her works are often inspired by the trees and woodlands along the Lake Michigan shoreline.
Susan currently divides her time between creating original collaged art quilt designs, teaching art quilting, marketing this fiber art at shows and exhibitions, running her Quilting Fabrics in Time business, and as a part-time literacy specialist at Muskegon Community College. Susan uses her 40+ years of K-College level teaching experiences and a PhD in Education to provide fun and easy learning experiences in classes and with on-line instruction.
