Susi Cora is a visual artist based in Alexandria, Virginia and works from her studio in Hancock, Maryland. She has nurtured an appreciation for the natural world that began with long treks through the woods of her family’s farm in Northern New York. She holds a Bachelor of Architecture from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and a Master of Fine Art from George Washington University.

Her work explores visual impressions of place: the intricacy of lichen on a rocky forest floor, the mathematical patterns of flower petals, or the mechanisms of the Chesapeake Bay. She renders these visual snapshots in a variety of media using what best expresses an idea.

This current solo exhibition explores the idea of cross pollination - how artistic process morphs and grows through a continuum. Work includes ceramics, weaving concepts, and botanical dyeing. Pigment for the textile work uses blossoms and seeds from the studio dye garden and implements scouring, mordanting, dyeing, neutralizing, and post mordant processes to produce work that is further developed as 2D or 3D works.
