Whether she is depicting a child fishing, a group of women dreaming or an angel made manifest, each face seems molded by a tale whose emotional details the viewer gets to imagine. In essence, Vertel’s people become family with histories as inspired as you wish to make them.Vertel’s work has won awards from prestigious New York shows and numerous commissions. She was recently awarded a commission for a lifesize sculpture for the National Park Service, currently installed in Yellowstone National Park. She was honored by being invited to the White House to witness President Clinton award a smaller version of her sculpture as a lifetime achievement award to a retiring Park Ranger. A monumental version of her “Babushkas” was commissioned by a private collector to sit in front of a 20 foot sculpture of Lenin which came from the Red Square in Moscow. Her representational bronze work reflects beauty as she sees it; the beauty of a graceful nude, the innocence of childhood, and the intrinsic beauty that comes with aging; faces that tell a story in themselves. Susanne's work has been exhibited and won awards in many juried and invitational shows and galleries. She has also completed several commissions, including one for the National Park Service as well as private commissions and portraits.
