Susan Lerner

Collage Artist

Susan Lerner is a New York City based contemporary hand-cut collage artist. In her prior profession as a Certified Flavor Chemist, Susan ‘collaged’ chemicals into unique flavors but now she uses paper as her medium. She loves the collage process, finding joy in the hunt for imagery, meditation in cutting paper and delight in creating nostalgic compositions. Since 2017, she has shown her work in six solo shows in New York City and Northwest Connecticut and over 30 group shows including in Brooklyn and Chelsea, NY, Wiesbaden, Germany, the Scandinavian Collage Museum in Norway and most recently in Paris, France. Her work has been published in numerous periodicals including “Collage Care Transforming Emotions and LIfe Experiences with Collage” by Laurie Kanyer and its companion book, “Collage Care, the Method”. Susan is the co-founder of the New York Collage Ensemble which promotes a supportive community of like-minded analog collage artists in NYC. Her most notable sales are to restaurateur David Bouley and the Kanyer Art Collection and her work has been licensed with Jiggy Puzzles.
