Susan Read Cronin commenced studying sculpture with noted sculptors Jane B. Armstrong, and Walter Matia in the 1990s, and quickly developed a sense of the tradition and craft involved in working in bronze. She works in her Santa Barbara area studio, and fabricates her bronzes at foundries in Oxnard, California and West Rutland, Vermont. Cronin brings to her art a playful sense of humor, which has remained at the core of the work in design and art throughout her career. She seeks to engage and amuse the viewer of her art, argues that art should be lived with, and even played with, as she often does herself when devising new compositions and groupings for her work. Susan Read Cronin’s lively bronze sculptures have been exhibited in numerous solo museum exhibitions around the country and galleries represent her nationwide. She was educated at The Madeira School and is a graduate of Williams College.
