WELCOME
TO
STONE CROW STUDIO
Stone Crow Studio is owned and operated by Sudi,
a very talented artist. “Sudi” is the first name of an artist who remains
a very private person. Sudi was born in Frankfurt in Main, Germany and
came to the United States at a young age. She showed a talent for
drawing at an early age drawing what most little girls do; Horses!
Her father was a career military officer so much of her youth was spent
moving around the Midwestern United States with her teenage years spent
in Peru.
Sudi Attended William Woods college where she
gained most of her fine-tuning of skills. In later years she also attended
Arizona State University majoring in sculpture and Grand Canyon College
majoring in printmaking. During the 70’s she displayed her art through
travel shows like American Fairs. This experience taught her how to accept
criticism. She has spent the last twenty-odd years integrating all
the skills she learned and honing her In 1975 she opened her own studios,
Septagon Graphics, and although she has moved from Missouri to Arizona
to Washington State, the studio has remained open. Sometimes it was in
the living room and often in a garage. She says it keeps her humble.
Subjects:
My subjects are found in the environments in
which I have lived. I enjoy tromping along streams, through wetlands in
search of birds and other forms of wildlife as well as enjoying wandering
through ghost towns camera in hand imagining what it was like to live there.
I enjoy translating these things into characters for my work and pride
myself on my accuracy of environment and colouring.
My grandmother was one quarter Cherokee and collected
both the stories and artifacts of her ancestors. I grew up visiting a house
full of antiques interspersed with baskets of all sizes and uses, rugs
from the Southwest, beaded purses, and many stories. It caused me
to feel a kinship that I was able to pursue while living in Arizona and,
now, in the Pacific Northwest which I use in my works..
