Susan Smallwood Herold leads the Fibers Program Area at UNC. She has an M.F.A. from Colorado State University and a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Northern Colorado. Her area of specialization is Fibers. She has been employed at the University of Northern Colorado for 11 years. In addition to her studio work in multi-media arts, she has done extensive research on Irish art and art history. She travels to Ireland as often as she can looking for out of the way places that offer a new art experience. She is a student of the Irish language, spending time in the summers in an Irish Gaeltacht. Not limiting herself to Ireland she has traveled to Spain to teach English to Spanish Business men and women. She also likes to fly to other parts of the United States to art shows keeping her more up to date. The most important aspect of her time at UNC is the students, traveling with them as they develop their talents and staying open to learn from them through their challenging questions and other interchanges.
