Susan's alter ego, Shoshana Gold, first started making ketubot in 1982 when she took the first Hebrew Calligraphy and gold leaf illumination classes offered by Parsons School of Design. She then became the resident Hebrew calligrapher for the Jewish Quarter in White Plains, NY. from 1986 to 1988 In 1989 she opened her own Judaic Arts Store, Shoshana Judaic Arts and Crafts in New City, New York where she not only sold her own work, but became a distributor for many Israeli artists working with and developing new texts on lithographs for sale in the US. She sold her gallery in 1994 and moved to Ann Arbor, MI where she returned to studio work while representing her Israeli group of artists to retailers across the country. She returned to New York and did her own calligraphy as well as doing the ketubah work for the Jewish Museum. She brought with her a huge selection of unique ketubot which has just been put on sale at a substantial price reduction at Tree Of Life in Seattle where she will be giving a talk on March 1st at 11 am.on the Ketubot, it's origins and new resurgence as a modern artform. She will be available for questions after her talk. Susan has worked with galleries, Judaica stores and museums throughout her 25 year career as well as with hundreds of individual couples who wish to create an original artwork for their wedding.

I change constantly, come to think of it I haven't had the same job for more than 7 years, ever! Usually I last about 3 or 4 until I think I've achieved some level of proficiency, then it's onto the next thing to learn. I like and thrive on movement and change. I dance Argentinean tango, a squeezebox and violin give me goose bumps, it's a dance requiring a degree of perfection. I dance anything and everything else with much abandon. I sing, not well, but comfort myself with the fact that what I lack in talent I make up for with enthusiasm. I love movies and watch the Academy Awards every year with a bottle of champagne which i drink when my pick wins, I am a very good picker and generally get stupified!

Looking for an ongoing career as Jacqueline of all trades. Possibly doing executive relocation work with some design, organizing aspects. Love short term projects needing action and focus using a lifetime of skills requiring both right brain and left brain solutions.

Susan has been in the design and art field for over, ahem, thirty years! designing and owning homes and art galleries from New York to LA, and now Seattle. Attending Parsons in New York and recently being trained as an Accredited Home Stager, becoming a IAHSP board and RESA member in the last 3 years.

Susan was educated in England and trained as a commercial display artist. She made her living as an artist and artist's rep and owned an art gallery in NY for 8 years before her move to Seattle in 2005. She has taken multiple Staged Homes courses in Seattle and at National symposiums in San Francisco, Chicago and just now in Seattle where she staged the convention itself in July 2008.
