Fine Arts Center in Seattle
from 1992 Ð 1998. I served on
the Board of DirectorÕs at
Pratt for four years, and

concentrating on Sinks,
Lighting and Furniture.
My search for creative vision
is shown in my quest to ...

Suzanne Guttman designs and creates blown glass functional art lighting and sinks as well as aesthetic art vessels and sculptural work. Her inspiration comes from the beauty of simple, classic forms, color combinations and the spontaneous fluidity found in nature.
Born in Sacramento, California, Suzanne continues a family tradition of artists, her mother an accomplished fine artist, her grandfather a photographer and her aunt and uncle in the performing arts. She graduated from California State University, Chico in 1981 with a BA in Visual Communications and a BA in Marketing. After graduating, she moved to Seattle and now resides just north of Seattle on majestic Whidbey Island with her husband and business partner, Jack Healy. Working for over 20 years in the communications, marketing and design industry, SuzanneÕs career took many paths, 12 of those years were spent owning her own graphic design firm.
In 1992, Suzanne turned to glass for creative self-expression and has since launched her passion into a new life. She originally studied at Pratt Fine Arts Center in Seattle, served on the Board of Directors and taught at the school. Suzanne currently works with designers as well as produces her line of line of lighting, sinks and vessels that strive for the balance between grace and strength and are simplistic; yet capture motion and depth through color and form.
SuzanneÕs lighting, sinks and aesthetic work are in residences, yachts, motor coaches, airplanes, corporate environments and hotels throughout the world. |
