Suzie Gregg and her husband relocated to the beautiful state of Oregon in 2024 to be closer to their daughters and granddaughters. Suzie has been able to dedicate much of her time to being a Mixed Media Artist since leaving her previous career as a Maternal and Child Health Social Worker in 2019. Over the years, Suzie explored a variety of mediums, but her heart was ultimately captured by the world of mixed media. What sets her art apart is her distinctive bead mosaic technique. Mosaics, an art form steeped in history, deeply resonate with Suzie's belief in the transformative beauty of broken or small pieces coming together to form a stunning whole. She meticulously hand-places small glass beads and crystals, creating a painterly effect that brings out shadow, texture, and intricate detail in her bead mosaic pieces. Suzie discovered bead mosaics around 2010. She innovated and discovered many of the techniques she uses today. The fusion of this technique with mixed media breathes new life and depth into her artwork. She finds inspiration in the wonders of the natural world, seeing divine beauty in all of God's creations that fuel her own artistic expression.
Suzie's artwork has won awards at juried art shows and has given lectures to art leagues. She is well known in the up and coming bead mosaic community as one of the pioneers in the medium, and is also a featured artist on www.BeadMosaic.com. Suzie also served as a judge in the first bead mosaic competition, an internationally entered contest.
