Sue Pruss
Sue Pruss totally loses all sense of time when immersed in her glass studio. She’ll look at a beautiful new sheet of glass and begin to imagine. Sometimes the texture or pattern ‘tells’ her what to create. Other times, it’s the blending of colors. But the most rewarding aspect of all, is the organic approach she takes in her creations.
The maple tree is hand sculpted by the artist using powdered glass. Then the maple tree, once formed is cured and dried. The the composition of the birch and maple tree, flowers and birds are incorporated into the final scene. The result: a snapshot of meandering down Bay Shore Drive on your way to your favorite Door County destination.

About the Artist

Sue Pruss
As a glass artist, Sue draws inspiration from the beauty around her. Sometimes it’s a relaxing walk through a nature preserve in Door County. Other times it’s the quiet moments of reflection while sitting in a park or driving country roads.
For 60 years, this passion for art lay dormant, but upon retirement, her true calling was unveiled: transforming sheets of glass into captivating art. Sue specializes in crafting vibrant kiln-formed landscapes, focusing on the intricate beauty of flowers and trees. Each petal and branch is hand-cut, allowing her creativity to flow naturally and organically.
Her pieces often undergo multiple kiln firings to achieve the perfect effect, each one a testament to her deep connection with nature and her dedication to creating unique, one-of-a-kind art.
