In her three decade career as a glass artist Susan has drawn her inspiration from the landscape in which she lives. As an avid gardener she continues to explore the idea of garden through her vessel and sculptural works and is well know for her vibrant floral vessels. Susan examines how glass has been used historically and how it transitions form and style with a contemporary feel.
Susan Rankin has work included in public collections at the Corning Museum, Claridge Collection, Michel-Pierre Grenier Collection, Saskatchewan Arts Board, Winnipeg Art Gallery, USB Bank (Canada), Department of Foreign Affairs, Musée des beaux-arts de Montréal, Montréal, Quebec, Glazen Huis, Flemish Centre for Contemporary Glass Art, Lommel, Belgium, well as in many fine private collections.
