Comment: You need to look at WP:REFBEGIN, WP:PRIMARY and WP:BLPPRIMARY. WP:REFBEGIN explains how to properly format inline citations, which is something that this article greatly lacks. You have a lot of links to external website; these need to be converted to inline citations.WP:PRIMARY and WP:BLPPRIMARY tells you when (or, mostly, when not) to use primary sources in any article, and when to use them when writing about a living person, respectively. You shouldn't have Susan Colletts' website as the only inline citation in the article about her, because that's a primary source.

- Comment: Please read WP:ISNOT, the long list of non-notable exhibitions need to be removed. Current sourcing does not support notability... you need at least 3 sources from independent, reliable secondary sources to show notability. Currently you have none.

Biography
Since 1993, Susan Collett has run a full-time studio art practice in downtown Toronto, Canada. Large-scale clay sculpture and printmaking are the focus of her work, and her practice is supported through public and private gallery exhibitions, and commissions. Over the last two and a half decades, she has been recognized internationally for her clay works, which are hand-built of earthenware paper clay and multi-fired to achieve a complex patina of surfaces. Collett's monoprints are printed from plates made of stitched industrial grade roofing copper, and incorporate embossed relief.

She has exhibited at SOFA Chicago & New York, and the Palm Beach International Art Fair.
In 2009, Collett was invited by the Ceramic Artists Association of Israel to conduct a Master workshop near the Dead Sea, as well as invitations for presentations at The Gardiner Museum of Ceramic Art, Toronto, China Academy of Art, Hangzhou, and Concordia University, Montreal, among others. Her work has appeared in Ceramic Review[1], Ceramic Art & Perception, and Canadian Art. Collett is recognized as an important contributor to Canadian Studio Ceramic practice[2], as well as internationally recognized for her unique style and contributions to development in ceramic technique[3].
Education
In 1985 Susan Collett attended the Lacoste School of Art, France, where she studied sculpture, printmaking and painting. In 1986 she graduated from the Cleveland Institute of Art, Ohio U.S.A., where she earned a BFA degree in Printmaking with a Minor in Ceramics.
