Susan Budge

University of Houston Susan Budge (b 1959) is an American ceramic sculptor who was born in Midland, Texas.

She taught at San Jacinto College in Houston, San Antonio College, and the University of Texas at San Antonio, where she became a tenured full professor and Head of Ceramics.

Budge is best known for her large scale and Eye Spy sculptures which are abstract and usually monochromatic, except for the presence of a realistic human eye.

Recognition of her work increased during her time in San Antonio when she was commissioned by the city to create three large scale sculptures Anaqua, Quercus, and Acequia, and forty ceramic tiles for Brackenridge Park.

Eye Spy Eros from 2010, in the collection of the Honolulu Museum of Art, is an example and demonstrates how the eye can render an otherwise abstract form vaguely anthropomorphic.
