SUSAN SARGENT, THE ARTIST
Susan Sargent is an artist who leads a life as vibrant as her brilliantly
colored designs. She is a master colorist, regarded as a leader in marrying
contemporary colors and manufacturing processes with old-world traditions
and quality.
Susan’s design path took her from a Boston art school to a textile
degree in Sweden, where she absorbed vibrant folk traditions and skills.
A fifteen-year period was spent as a studio artist, doing one of a kind
tapestries for collectors and galleries. Hands-on experience as an artist,
dyer and weaver laid the groundwork for the quality of her collections
today, which include rugs, bedding, fabrics, ceramics, and paint.
Susan’s signature collections have been sold since 1995 to leading
independent retailers and high-end catalogues such as Neiman Marcus, Macy's
by Mail, Saks Folio, and Garnet Hill. She is the recipient of Home Magazine’s
2001 Designer Award, and the Artist of the Year Licensing Award in 2002.
She has been featured in publications such as; Better Homes and Gardens,
Good Housekeeping, Victoria, Country Living, Home magazine, Yankee,
Mary Englebreit Home, and others.
The Susan Sargent store in Manchester, Vermont features her colorful collections, all coordinated
around her core palette. On view is Susan's commitment to bringing her
love of color to a full range of home furnishings products.
The Susan Sargent store is also a resource to help with your home decorating
needs. Our trained staff can provide you with practical help in the selection of furniture,

Susan’s first book, New Country Color, (Watson Guptill,
2001) expresses Susan’s design philosophy— spontaneous creativity,
uninhibited self-expression, and a lavish use of color. Her second book,
The Comfort of Color, (Bulfinch/Time Warner, 2004) explores a
series of her colorful home transformations. Her third book, Colorscapes, (Bulfinch/Time Warner, 2006) gives readers an overview of how to create a personal color palette and features different locations, each devoted to a unique color concept.
