Raffle: Fiber Sea Star


Suzanne Connor is a 4th generation NH fiber artist who has developed an original line of textile art. Inspired by a magic lady, Christina’s Ocean is a collection of sea life created using this original technique. Preservation of the world’s oceans is critical to the survival of many species, including man. Suzanne chooses fish, seals, turtles, corals, seagrass and much more to highlight the variety of creatures in the underwater habitat.

Suzanne feels strongly that the art in your home should be a personal expression, and the flexibility of my collection allows you to design a distinct artwork customized to your home or corporate environment. The wide variety of pieces lets you fill a wall or create a unique small space of art – any way you choose!
