Susan Latham, whose metal sculptures are inspired by the structure of growth in nature, captures some essential essence creating a rare beauty in her forms. She states: "I am dazzled by nature's beauty, the genius and whimsy of her inventiveness and the elegance of form, whether it be the delicate fluting on a mushrooms or a lilac bud seen under a microscope. Creating abstract metal sculpture calls forth both the artist and the engineer within me."
