About The Artist
Susan Kraft is an artist and writer. She started painting in oils very young in her father's art studio. At 19 she started college as an art major, but had no financial backing, as her father died several years prior. Financial pressures forced her to reevaluate working for an art degree and she pivoted to math and science. This also satisfied her search for understanding who we are and how to best live on this tiny blue dot suspended in the Milky Way. Her first post-grad job brought her to Palo Alto, CA where she lived until recently.
In 2000, she relaunched her art career by opening the ART21 Gallery in the heart of Palo Alto, CA. TIn 2000, she relaunched her art career by opening the ART21 Gallery in the heart of Palo Alto, CA. A few years later, she produced and hosted, “Talk Art”, an award-winning cable TV talk show about artists’ work and their backstories. In 2022, she moved from California to live in the Hudson Valley region and work in downtown New York City.

Videos of social involvement:
I organized the Honoring Women's Rights conference in 2012 to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Women's Caucus for Art. I kept the ball rolling and kept going to, volunteered, organized, and ran a few more social change and political consciousness raising events. Here are a few selected videos and images from those days.
