Vita
Born 1967 as Susanne Iris Fornasier in Germany, Soussen lives with her family in Montclair, New Jersey. Before she moved to the US she lived in Erding (near Munich), Germany, in Doha, Qatar (Persian Gulf) and in Melbourne, Australia.
Because of her father, the artist Klaus Sievert (conceptional paintings and plastic art), she got in touch with art and craft very early.
