Loosely wrapped, creative, nocturnal, depressive, reclusive, eccentric... in other words, an artist.

I've made my living as a professional jewelry artist for sixteen years, and just within the last few years after an almost 30-year hiatus, have returned to photography as a means of artistic expression. I have created digital art pieces for longer, but back with the acquisition of my first iPad I became more serious about that as well.

If you'd like to be among the first to see my fine art photography and digital art as I unleash it on the world, subscribe to my monthly newsletter, or you'd like to purchase something to adorn your space (in which case, I'd like to commend you for your phenomenally exquisite taste), please visit Susan Maxwell Schmidt Visual Fine Art (susanmaxwellschmidt.com). if you'd like to check out my one-of-a-kind upscale hair jewelry art, then please come visit me at the LongLocks HairSticks Boutique (www.longlocks.com). Better hurry though, after 16 years, I'm ready to retire. Oh, and I was kidding about the "phenomenally exquisite taste" thingy. No wait, I wasn't kidding that you have phenomenally exquisite taste, I'm sure you do, only that you have phenomenally exquisite taste because your phenomenally exquisite taste is in reference to my art, and for some reason alone that should make it phenomenally exquisite. Or something.
