Susan Hoffer is a Lake Placid, NY-based figurative artist whose paintings explore the poetic relationships in reimagined settings. Through a process-based practice that embraces formal and material experimentation she paints ordinary people in their own work or home spaces while highlighting their private sentiments. Her work is informed by her experiences living in her rural community and conversations with her neighbors in real time.

Hoffer’s work is included in public and private collections, including the permanent collections of the Albany Institute of History and Art, Albany, NY and the Adirondack Experience Museum, Blue Mountain Lake, NY. She has exhibited in solo exhibitions throughout New York State including the Lake George Arts Project, and The Capital Region Art Center, Troy, and she is currently preparing for a solo exhibition at the Arkell Museum, Canajoharie. Residencies include full-fellowships at the Sam and Adele Golden Foundation Artist Residency and the Vermont Studio Center., and grants include a New York State Council for the Arts Support for Artists grant.
