Maker Spotlight

Susan R. Kirshenbaum, Cherry Pits Art

San Francisco

Susan R. Kirshenbaum is a San Francisco-based figurative artist whose expressive, gestural work reflects a fresh, contemporary perspective on the female form that captures a moment and reflects an intimacy with her subjects. In addition to her fine art prints on paper, metal, and fabric, Susan also uses her original art to create limited edition paper and textile products.

Kirshenbaum grew up in a family of visual artists who started an art school, the Ivy School of Professional Art, in Pittsburgh, PA where she studied and worked throughout her life. Her works have been exhibited in solo and group shows throughout the San Francisco Bay Area and are in collections nationally and internationally.
