Foot Prints
Foot for Thought....we are all the same where our soles touch the earth.

This genre  began quite by accident, after the birth of Suzanne's first grandchild.  The photo, Six Feet, was taken in haste, with tired parents and a squirmy baby.   The following year, a digital footprint, Study in Black and White, revealed that it is almost impossible to tell the age, race, sex, or profession of a person when viewed from the sole.

From those initial foot prints, Suzanne has developed a creative and unique body of work.  A dozen foot prints grace the walls of the New York College of Podiatric Medicine conference center.  Wise Woman Herbal Ezine featured Suzanne as its artist of the month in March 2008.

In February 2010, Suzanne completed a new collaborative foot print montage called Peaceful Soleutions.  For information on the development of this montage, visit Foot for Thought



Peaceful Soleutions

Many thanks to contributors from North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa, and Australia for their contributions to the final creation.  Contributing foot prints were received from Australia, Canada, Costa Rica, Cyprus, Ecuador, Indonesia, India, Ireland, Jerusalem, Mexico, Netherlands, Philippines, South Africa, South Korea, Ukraine, as well as from within the United States, including participation from Alaska, Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Kentucky, Maryland, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas,  Washington, and Wisconsin.

Peace, blooming from the roots of all nations… a feat we can attain by dedicating our soles and our souls to the concept, one step at a time.

During the processes of creating Peaceful Soleutions and artwork for Soles 4 Souls, it came to light that many of the decorated feet were a perfect fit with current shoe sole styles.
