Biography

Susan Read Cronin was educated at Williams College (Class of 1975) where she developed her passion for art and design. Cronin worked in the 1990's with renowned sculptors Jane B. Armstrong and Walter Matia. She quickly developed the craft and tradition of working in bronze. She currently works in her home studio in Vermont, and has her pieces cast in bronze in foundries located in Vermont and Massachusetts.

Style

Of Cronin's work, New York art critic John Mendelsohn writes: "Cronin's figures are animated by a fluid energy, the artist's light touch, that gives them a fleeting sense of movement. These animals and humans are acutely observed and deftly depicted, with an emphasis on bodily gestures. The humor which pervades Cronin's work arises from her clearly observing humankind's foibles and then reflecting them back to us with wit and affection." Indeed Cronin's work effuses a liveliness created through her talent for sculptural naturalism and her smart, witty sense of humor.

Honors

This spring, the Naples Golf and Beach Hotel in Florida will also display one of Cronin's sculptures.

Susan Read Cronin's work is held in numerous private collections and public collections including The Erie Art Museum, Erie, Pennsylvania, Southern Vermont Arts Center, Manchester, Vermont, and The Madeira School, Virginia.
