Susie Frazier Mueller is a Cleveland-based environmental artist whose sensibility is rooted in the self-organizing patterns found in nature. Strongly influenced by the natural order of the universe, Susie has produced a wide range of earth-inspired work since 1997, including a national product line of stone home accessories, a body of organic assemblage art for interiors, and various public art for urban landscapes.

Among her public art contributions are decorative paving designs on crosswalks, lighted outdoor seating, and inlaid sidewalk textures as part of a $3 million streetscape project in Cleveland’s Gordon Square Arts District.

In addition to bringing her own creations to the public realm, Susie is also known for showcasing the talents of other artists through a downtown marketing program she co-founded, called Sparx in the City. Under her direction between 2002 and 2006, recurring sidewalk concerts and city-wide art walks generated $5.1 million in economic impact in Cuyahoga County, garnered over 29.5 million media impressions, and created 729 paid opportunities for regional artists totaling over $214,000. Although Susie is no longer involved with Sparx, she is proud to know it continues to operate through The Downtown Cleveland Alliance.

Susie is the former Secretary of the 94-year old City Club of Cleveland, where she also served as Chair of the New Leaders in 2002. In early 2005, she received the honor of a German Marshall Memorial Fellowship, which included a 23-day economic development and foreign policy experience throughout Western Europe. Today, Susie is serving her third term as trustee to Northeast Ohio’s public television and public radio affiliate WVIZ/WCPN ideastream, while she lives in the City of Cleveland with her husband, Tim, and three children.
