Susan Stillman

Susan Stillman is a contemporary American artist. Her landscape paintings manifest her preoccupation with light and its transfiguration, using the backdrop of Stillman’s own suburban neighborhood as well as inspiration from her travels.

Stillman holds a BFA from the Rhode Island School of Design, and an MFA from Brooklyn College. She spent a year in Rome studying painting in RISD’s European Honors Program. A life-long educator, Stillman has been a faculty member at Parsons School of Design since 1983.

Her work has been featured in the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal, among others. She is a member of the Silvermine Artist Guild and NY Artists Equity and has exhibited her paintings with George Billis Gallery and various other galleries both in NY and surrounding areas.

She began her career as an Illustrator with work published in hundreds of magazines, newspapers, posters, and books. Stillman was chosen to illustrate a special centennial edition of James Joyce’s Ulysses, and she worked with writer Pete Hamill to illustrate his book, The Invisible City, a New York Sketchbook.

She lives and works in White Plains, New York.
