At the invitation from Ambassador Popp and the U.S. Embassy in Guatemala, Susan participated in the Artist Exchange Program. Her work has been on display for 2 years. During her visit, she shared her experience with artists, women in business, engineering and University students.

About the Work
My work embodies an interest in mythological imagery, symbolism, and philosophies from historic and ancient cultures. I love to travel and I am intensely interested in ancient civilizations, symbols of ritual art, ancient myths and how they connect us, most deeply, with our own nature and our place in this world.
About the Process
The casting process is intense and involves ladling the molten glass directly from the furnace at 2300° F. Timing, temperature and the casting team all have to work together with absolute accuracy to create each piece. Gott frequently works with a rigid sand mold technique, for it allows detail and the ability to work on a large scale.
