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 studio in Santa Barbara and fabricates her bronzes at an Oxnard foundry. A composite show of her sculptures entitled Fables, Foibles and Fairytales has traveled to eighteen different museums and venues. Galleries nationwide represent her and her pieces populate many private and public collections. She served on the board of the Vermont Studio Center twenty years and is the author of the book Bronze Casting in a Nutshell. Ms. Cronin was educated at The Madeira School and is a graduate of Williams College.
