Susan Regert

A native to Merced, Susan Regert grew up on a small ranch. She and her two sons raised purebred Suffolk sheep for 15 years. Susan took over the family cattle operation after her father's passing. During this time she also focused on watercolor painting, with animals and rural life as her main subjects. In 1986, she opened Regert Gallery to feature her work. In 1996, she started Z Garden Party. The metal garden designs in heavy rusted steel are all made in her shop in Merced by her talented crew. “I try to keep a realistic feel to my designs.  I only use rusted steel, instead of painted metal, so the sculpture is an understated look and the design is the focus.”
