Chela attends a salon at the studio of Sudie Rakusin –

“A gathering of intellectual, social, and cultural elites, verging on the raffish, under the roof of an inspiring hostess to enjoy an afternoon of art, music, and conversation for the purpose of refinement of tastes, increased knowledge and, above all, amusement.”

 

Jessica Hannan Sultan is the Dancer of Delights.

Sudie’s art work incorporates beadwork and papier-mâché, that pushes her 2-D artwork into the 3-D realm.
Her mixed-media journey books on display are so creative and captivating.
Sudie’s work includes functional, decorative pieces.
Meet the hostess: “I’m just really curious. I stay wide open, not jaded. I want to be surprised. I want to believe that the extraordinary is possible. I want to take in life, to continue experiencing wonderment. As long as I’m here, I want to stay appreciative of what is magnificent and wonderful.” – Sudie
