listening to you

i pause + i weave my way into listening.

“I weave a silence on my lips

I weave a silence into my mind

I weave a silence within my heart ... “

~ from “Stilling The Body” by David Adam (Pause)

susie lafond
I am a self taught mixed media artist and creativity has always been a vital part of my life. My primary focus has been the creation of hand bound journals which I sell on Etsy but I also love to work and create with paint as well as collage and fabric. I love to experiment and draw my inspiration from many sources. Nothing is off limits when it comes to my creative flow. My work has been featured in several books and publications. I’ve used and applied my artistic skills for the creation of stage props and sets for a local dance studio and offers me yet another outlet to keep my creative juices flowing. I live in Coon Rapids Minnesota with my very talented wood worker husband, 2 daughters and my office assistant and constant 4 legged companion pooch; Fibi.
