Susan Hoffer is a Lake Placid, NY-based figurative artist who paints ordinary people in their own work or home spaces while highlighting their private sentiments. A life-long relationship with the Adirondacks has given her a unusual understanding of the issues facing those who live in this remote region, and her work invites reflection on how all of us see—and live with—one another in our own or other communities.

Hoffer’s paintings are included in the permanent collections of the Albany Institute of History and Art, Albany, NY and the Adirondack Experience Museum, Blue Mountain Lake, NY. Solo exhibitions throughout New York State have included the Lake George Arts Project, the Schweinfurth Museum, and The Capital Region Art Center, Troy, and she is currently preparing for a solo exhibition at the Arkell Museum, Canajoharie. Hoffer is the recipient of fully funded residencies at the Sam and Adele Golden Foundation Artist Residency and the Vermont Studio Center, and several grants including a New York State Council for the Arts Support for Artists grant.
