Artists and Designers:
Roberta Ann Busard, aka Bobbi Busard, is our resident Blue Fairy.
She is an artist whose original paintings and sculptures have been widely exhibited in galleries and museum settings throughout the United States and have also been exhibited internationally, in China, Russia, and Kuwait. Her work is in many public, corporate, and private art collections as well as the permanent collections of a number of art museums, including The National Museum of Women in the Arts and The Anchorage Museum of Art.
She has a double BFA in art and art education
and an MFA in sculpture. An award and fellowship winner, her work and biography are listed in Who’s Who in American Art.
Her work for Wild Heart Designs includes her Archival Prints, Sculptural and Design Work, Collaborative Designs, and Commission Work.
Although she has a serious standing in the art community, we are pleased to offer her more whimsical nature a place to breathe. Here she presents us with her imagined flowers, her blue roosters, her garden guardians (and sex god/goddess chipmunk
garden buddies) and her lightness of being.
She is also a dancer and writer, and is always up to her ears in magic!
Her work is contemporary and inspired and she loves sharing it with you!
William V. Suchmann
Wm is a Master Brick and Stone Mason, Extraordinaire,
with a degree in Art. He is also a Photographer and a Designer.
His top shelf Masonry Work specializes in both his own architectural design work and in historical restoration.
He can represent a project eloquently before a historical society but he is happiest up on his scaffold around the roof and chimney level where he gets a clear view of the sky and the architecture.
Wm has a strong photography range, with portfolios of work in a number of very exciting series from cityscapes to cloudscapes. His recent work includes a series entitled Construction Ghosts, a series about the relationships of construction and deconstruction in city infrastructures; a performance artist collaborative documentary; and a photo series that explores the American landscape of Water Towers in America
(© William Suchmann).
He also gets involved, periodically, in a number of interesting television and film projects.
Wm can be contacted for solo building and art and design projects as well as collaborative projects.
*Collaborations between Wm and Bobbi are always VERY interesting in how they include both her whimsical free imagination and his expert engineering
and design. These can apply to brick and stone projects, art-in-architecture projects, unique furniture, and specialty work with Bobbi, such as using that old silver flying saucer sled as an architectural element in a cathedral ceiling; a jaunty bridge over a brook; or their jointly designed brick bake-oven-barbecue-bell-tower that we think Dr. Seuss would have enjoyed!
Katie Hawk
Katie is a lovely and talented illustrator and cartoonist, who also creates drawings for us when she feels like it. She is also a gifted photographer.
She often has her nose in a book, reading in the window seat.
She comes out to offer us commentaries and contributes enormously to the silliness around here.
We believe she was a Mermaid in a previous existence.
Roaring Swan
isn’t giving us any information beyond her digital art and photographic images. You will understand, when you see them, that an image is worth a thousand words.
A Cast of Outcasts:
There are others here amongst us that come over and contribute with their own work or put their hand in with us on some collaborations. We like to think that we have a lovely pool of talent. Now and then, everyone around here gets into the pool!
Magic Happens!
