About Susan Hyde Greene

As I became aware that the history of art is the history of people, I saw the possibility of bringing people together through the language of art.

Following the tradition of women using stitches to mend and heal, I cut photos apart, fracturing the image, then I stitch the fragments back together.  My intention is that my pieces offer hope of renewal.  Would  that the whole world be cut apart and stitched back together to assure that succeeding generations will inherit a clean, peaceful, safe, and just world.
