Susan Goodwin
...has been a celebrated jewelry artist and tour de force
in pearl and gemstone jewelry since 1980.
Her early years and first artistic influences were formed
in the still exotic, tropical paradise of Hawaii where her
family moved when she was 3 years old. It was there
Susan recalls becoming entranced by nature; the massive
leaves of tropical foliage, the jungle, (bugs included)
exploring the beach and it's tiny sea shells, the tropical fish,
lava rock and the little elves and fairies who visited her world often.
developing her passion for color, and the ever important LIGHT FACTOR!
Her creed is to build a scaffold of sorts for the little souls of
her Gemstones and Pearls to shine in their best light.
She has had a variety of configurations in her multi decade
career. Selling in Paris, Tokyo, Barcelona and Denmark
as well as Norstrom Stores across the county. Her jewelry
is carried in Boutiques and Museum Stores dotted along
the West Coast and in her Showroom in McMinnville, Or.
Today, Susan also pursues the work she loves the most. She
concentrates on creating personalized, custom works;
the one of a kind showpieces her loyal clientele adores.
It’s always fun to watch a new customer discover Susan’s
jewelry. They seem to instinctively feel the care and energy
infused into each piece. They may never have met, but the
buyer will swear that Susan made the earrings, bracelet or
necklace just for them.
She now lives in the Willamette Valley of Oregon where she
enjoys the wide open fields of local farms and the bounty
of fresh food and delicious wine.
