SuZen

THINGS I LEARNED ALONG THE WAY is SuZen’s first book that she has written. A long time student of Buddhism, she is a NYC fine-art photographer, graphic and fashion designer, retired college professor, peace activist and world traveler. Her artwork is exhibited in museums and galleries and collected internationally. Exploring reality and illusion, SuZen's art is continually pushing medium into new dimensions. Her work evolved from traditional black and white photography to performance art and multi-media installations in public spaces. Funded by New York State Council on the Arts, a 40’ x 25’ painted mural of her photograph, “Flowing Light” has graced NYC’s Times Square since 1984. Also a recipent of grants from National Endowment of the Arts, Department of Cultural Affairs. Recently she was awarded the Marquis Who's Who Lifetime Achievement Award.

In 2020, while living in Portugal SuZen began studying watercolor painting. In her new book, THINGS I LEARNED ALONG THE WAY, she has illustrated it with her sumi paintings.
