About us
Susan Wagner Designs LLC is owned and guided by Susan Wagner. A native New Yorker, Wagner migrated to California after graduating from Cornell University. She opened a studio in Santa Cruz in 1982, dedicating it to design and production of the highest caliber architectural art glass panels. Over time, Susan extended her expertise and studio capacity to encompass a wide range of materials and sculptural forms. Her portfolio includes sculpture in bronze, furnishings in wood, metal and glass – and, most recently, exciting and innovative tiles in concrete.
We are committed to working closely with you to explore the specific requirements of your project, paying careful attention to all aspects from concept to completion. In addition, we are available to offer our specialized experience and expertise as artistic consultants.
For a sampling of our wide range of work in private, public and sacred spaces, please see the images posted on this site. Contact us to discuss your current or future projects. We look forward to talking with you.
