Shafer-Wilson has a passion for mixed media and the fine arts, with an emphasis on woven copper vessels. In addition, she is well versed in drawing, painting, ceramics, and sculpture. Shafer-Wilson’s show titled “Pieces of Me,” will display numerous examples of her transition of these and other mediums over the last 30 years.

Her work appeared at several shows at WomanMade Gallery in Chicago, https://womanmade.org/artwork/suzanne-shafer-wilson and also appeared on the cover of The Crafts Report, a nationally syndicated crafts business magazine.
