Susan Murphy, an aerial dance pioneer, now focuses her artistic talents on creating vintage stained-glass art hung from seasoned driftwood. With the help of her husband, Don Carson, a noted photographer, Murphy crafts her works in various shapes and sizes.

Each piece is unique and the colors embedded in the glass are like watercolor paintings. Murphy’s one-of-a-kind artwork features vibrant colors and artful forms that catch the sun’s rays and radiate light.

The Jesup, Georgia native has dedicated her life to the magic of movement and now uses that same passion to produce her stained-glass art. She is a past recipient of the Governor’s Individual Award in the Arts and Humanities for the State of Georgia.
