    Susan Stillman

    Profile

    Susan Stillman is a contemporary American painter whose landscape works explore the interplay of light and its transformation. Her paintings reflect the ambiance of her suburban neighborhood as well as scenes from her extensive travels, capturing fleeting moments of atmospheric change.

    Stillman began her career as an Illustrator with work published in hundreds of magazines, newspapers, posters, and books. She 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. Through her business, Home Portraits, she was commissioned to paint heirloom representations of people's homes from 1989-2020. Her work has been featured in the New York Times, New York Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, and many others.

    Ms. Stillman has been teaching at Parsons since 1983.
