Meet the Artist Monday!
Josie Campbell-Dellenbaugh received a BA in Fine Arts from Chatham University, Pittsburgh, PA in 1969, but only started modeling from life in 1976 at the John Atelier in Princeton NJ. She learned the technique of direct stone carving with hand tools at the Princeton Art Association in 1980, and continued her studies at Rutgers University Camden with a course in bronze foundry practice. In 2008, she expanded her stone repertoire at marble/Marble XX in Colorado where she learned to carve with power tools. She currently works out of her home studios in Glastonbury CT and Center Harbor NH.
Her work has been part of many solo and juried exhibitions mainly in New England and the mid-Atlantic region. One piece, a bust of a newborn baby, was part of an exchange exhibition to Moscow, Russia. She has won numerous awards in various venues over the past 40 years, including CT Women Artists Association, Phillip Mill Patrons’ Award in PA, the Liskin Award, the Isenberg Award, the DeBellis & Richman Awards at the Salmagundi Club in NYC, and the Montana Memorial Award at the Hudson Valley Art Association in NY. In 2017, she was awarded the Gibbons Prize for excellence in sculpture by the New England Sculptors Association.
Her sculpture "African Pieta" can be found on this year's tour on 2nd Street.

Meet the Artist Monday!
Susan Geissler began her art career in 1984, after schooling in Fine Arts and working as an anatomical illustrator, graphic designer and art history researcher. Between 1984-1989, Susan’s work was seen and enjoyed by millions of people at top outdoor art events around the United States. Currently, she confines the showing of her artwork primarily to galleries, plus occasional commercial events and print advertising. The scores of commissions, awards and prizes accorded her work have contributed to her growing reputation and have stamped her as one of the premier designers of human figures in the United States. Susan considers her studio a small outpost of quality, integrity and love of the sculptural science. From this workplace in a small Western New York village, after intense research and anatomical study, several lovingly rendered pieces per year emerge – some exploding with dazzling motion…some resting quietly, but exuding the soft, gentle, whimsical emotion that is the hallmark of her work.
Susan's sculpture "Big Shoes to Fill," which depicts her granddaughter, is on this year's tour.
