          Susan Kliewer (American, b. 1940). "Mischievous Ones" bronze artist proof 5 of 45, 2006. Signature, date, and edition number on one clown's outfit. A remarkable bronze by Susan Kliewer, one of the Southwest's most critically acclaimed sculptors. "Mischievous Ones" features five Pueblo Sacred Clowns engaged in playful antics upon a large Puebloan vessel. According to Mountain Trails Gallery, "Valued as teachers as well as ancestral spirits, these Pueblo Sacred Clowns poke fun with often mischievous antics.

In Kliewer's words, "Always mischievous, sometimes gluttonous, Koshare are a perfect satire of normal village life. Their entertaining antics are designed to teach while also making fun." A striking Kliewer bronze, replete with impressive artistry and technique, mounted upon a wood rotating base fit with an engraved brass plaque.

In addition, she created a life-size fountain that portrays the Sinagua people as well as a fountain of a Hopi Water Maiden in Sedona.
