Clay Artist

 

 

Having been born in Phoenix and raised in Wickenburg, Arizona has been my home most of my life. Although, I spent 12 years in wonderful Wyoming raising my 3 children, I was happy to get back to the Sonoran Desert in 1996.

Art has always been in my life. My grandfather was an oil painter and my father was a great sketcher and saddle maker, tooling beautiful works of art. I was taught to appreciate artistic ability and quality from them, at an early age. 

 

I have also dabbled in oil painting and sketching off and on through the years, but it wasn’t until 2019 that I found clay and it became my passion. 

In early 2023, I became the chair of the Wickenburg Clay Group. I spend most days at the art club creating and enjoying the friendships I have made there. 

 

I also enjoy getting out into the desert to ride our side by side, go camping and rock hounding. 

My other joy is being the “Nawnie” to 7 grands and 4 great grands. 

Artistic ability has shown up in my children and now some of my grands. I’m very happy that this part of my heritage is continuing on.

MEMBER PROFILE

Meet Su Small

 

Su is very active in WAC, serving as Membership Chair, Co-Chairing Holiday Market, and filling volunteer slots. Su also proviides her management skills as our Office Manager part time.

 

I have been a professional

woman my entire life. I owned a property management and personal

assistant business called Behind the Scenes Management. Although I had a lot of avenues to use my creativity for my clients, I never applied myself by way of actual art.

 

When my husband and I retired and moved to Wickenburg, we jumped at the opportunity to spend the summers as camp hosts in a beautiful wildlife area in the White Mountains of Arizona. Sipe White Mountain Wildlife Area is on the migratory path of several species of hummingbirds, holding an annual hummingbird festival every July. I started painting hummingbird feeders as there was so much inspiration all around me.

 

I now am finding my way to fine tuning my artistic ability. I am now involved in the Wickenburg Art Center and Gallery, with the opportunity to educate myself, grow and see where it takes me.

 

Stay tuned!

Judee Nuechter

Artist





  Judee Nuechter - Biography


Judee Was born and raised in Iowa and is a graduate of the University of Iowa in Related Art. She has worked as an interior designer, Realtor, and had her own Real Estate Appraisal firm for 28 years in Colorado prior to retiring and becoming a full time Arizona resident. She spent 6 years as a winter resident of Wickenburg and fell in love with the desert and the awesome sunrises and sunsets with all of the brilliant colors, which serve as an inspiration for her jewelry.


I did not begin designing or making jewelry until nearing retirement although creativity and art have been a passion of mine for many years. I see designs for my jewelry in nature, animals, and especially the vibrant Arizona desert.

Colors for my work are chosen from the beautiful sunsets, desert flowers, mountains and Southwestern Native American influences.

I started in this field designing and making jewelry with bead crochet techniques but found I was limited to smaller pieces that others could easily recreate. About 8 years ago I found my passion in bead embroidery, which allowed me to design and create a unique piece of jewelry that was one of a kind and would also allow others to enjoy the beauty of our state as well as Colorado, my previous home. I’ve been blessed to have learned the techniques of bead embroidery from three other artists that are renowned for this medium and able to understand the relationship of art and nature and how to apply this to my designs. 

Polymer clay is another medium that I enjoy and often make focal beads for my jewelry.

I became a juried artist at Wickenburg Art Club in Wickenburg AZ in 2019 where my jewelry has been displayed.


My jewelry is also shown at Happi Hoops in Prescott AZ, Perfect Picture Gallery in Lake Oswego OR, and the National Museum of Wildlife Art in Jackson Hole WY as well as the Wickenburg Art Club.
