The artist...
Suzanne Lydia (Thomas) Weinert was born in 1984 in Santa Cruz,
California and grew up in the stimulating environment of printing
presses, handmade paper and fine crafted books. She is a
second-generation bookbinder and artist, the daughter of world-renowned
book artists Peter and Donna Thomas.
On her own and in collaboration with her parents, Suzanne writes,
prints and binds both one-of-a-kind and editioned miniature artist
books. She also crafts colorful book earrings and book jewelry. See more of her work.
Suzanne's career started early, with award winning letterpress and artist's books made while in grade school. During this time, Suzanne attended the annual meetings of the Miniature Book Society with her mother, father, and older sister. When she was just six years old, Suzanne received the Society's "Distinguished Book Award" in 1992 for her limited edition miniature book "The Pretty Rocks." She has attended numerous book arts related conferences and met countless papermakers and printers throughout the world. This exposure has shaped her artistic sensibility, and has inspired her to develop her own unique style.
Suzanne began her undergraduate studies at San Diego State University in California and continued by studying abroad at Deakin University in Warrnambool, Australia. In 2007, Suzanne graduated from Humboldt Sate University with a Bachelor of Arts in Art Education and a Bachelor of Arts in Studio Art (with an emphasis in Book Arts and Painting).
