Since that fortuitous day, she has been writing and performing her own Western poetry, reciting the classics, and studying the works of pioneering women of the West. Her passion for these stories from the past is exhibited in the intensity of her performance. Susan gathers inspiration for her poetry while riding and volunteering at the Wild Horse Sanctuary in Shingletown, California.

to create ageless jewelry pieces that are never boring and always
memorable in their simplicity. Every element is given singular

ago when she was discovering methods for sawing into sheets of silver.
Other trade mark works include hammered oval links, carved tagua seeds
and mahogany seed pods. New jewelry for this Trunk Show includes silver
and bronze goddesses and some new yummy leather cuffs! Visit her
website at http://senufa.com for more information.
