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 bird, animal and human figures in the United States.

Susan Geissler 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 which is a hallmark of her work.
