Artistic Practice
Suzanne Wright
Welcome to my artistic practice!
I create art pieces and Vivarta© to support well-being and life-journeys — both yours and mine.
A Vivarta©
is a handmade life-journey device. It can be a talisman, toy, tool, or another type of helpful gizmo. Click to learn more.

Here’s a sampling of my art pieces. I’ve included some that are also games. “Gamifying” is another one of my favorite creative practices. (Also a very successful ADHD hack!)

The Remarkable Keep Circle Workshop
Holds and protects self-love and your innermost intentions
April 24, 2024, 10:30am - 12pm, Zoom
“Outside the Lines” Series, Smith Center for Healing and the Arts
In this “Outside the Lines” program, you are invited to create a “Remarkable Keep Circle,” designed to hold and protect self-love and your innermost intentions on a daily basis.
Using a few simple prompts and basic art materials, Suzanne Wright will guide you through a playful – and sometimes profound – creative process activating our human connection with circles as shape and metaphor. The experience includes coloring with abandon, pattern making, and paper tearing coupled with prompts to percolate on.
Infused with your personal, creative energy and insights, your Remarkable Keep Circle will be ready to safeguard self-love and protect your intentions for years to come!
I sell certain Vivarta© pieces at select art fairs — see below for dates and locations.
I can help you make your own!
Sign up for an in-person workshop or book an online Vivarta© Creativity Workshop anytime!

Creative Meditations & Life-Journey Work
I make some of my art pieces in my creative meditation practice.
Often, these light-hearted DoodleTATEs© spark inspiration, insights, and pathways forward. They can lead to in-depth life-journey pieces and Vivarta©.

Iconography, A Love Story
tree ∙ circle (interlocking, radiating)
star ∙ heart ∙ spiral ∙ arch
labyrinth ∙ prism ∙ arrow (in a path)
My icons are core aspects of my identity, life and growth, as well as to my artistic practice.
I love the way icons, aka symbols, are a wicked-fast language based in imagery.
My core icons are the —
I imbue each icon with a part of my heart, my beliefs, and my way of being in the world.
I invite them into my artistic practice to help me make meaning and to process things along my life-journey.
Creative Beginnings
I grew up in an artistic household (my father was a professional artist) so my creativity was encouraged and flourished.
I just loved designing and making artistic things and spaces, often for my Barbies. From a young age, I wanted people to enjoy and interact with my creations rather than frame them as art. In fourth grade, I ran a thriving playground biz selling googly-eyed pom-pom creatures during recess until the principal shut me down.
