ABOUT
Suzanne Squires is originally from Nova Scotia, Canada and now resides in Vancouver, B.C. after spending the past 20 years in Northern Japan. Suzuan’s design aesthetic is a fusion of years spent in Canada, travels in South East Asia and 20 years in Japan. Each enamel or resin piece is finely crafted from silver or bronze, a miniature painting with it’s own story. Suzu An uses simple, sculptural forms for her enamel and resin pieces using layering techniques and polishing to create subtle, complex colours and enhance light. The philosophy of wabi sabi is part of her design aesthetic creating work which becomes more beautiful with time.
