Susan Mania is an American contemporary artist. Her paintings and works on paper explore observations of the landscape and its changing dynamics in soft dimensional color and a flexible re-working of organic elements.
Mania attended the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City (AAA) where she was exposed to the world of fiber as a medium for fine art. Her study of natural dyes helps her form a connection with nature, creating paints, inks and collage materials. Following FIT, she attended the College of New Jersey (BFA) and Philadelphia College of Textiles and Sciences (MA program).
Mania has exhibited throughout the United States and served on the faculty of several schools, including the College of New Jersey, the Waldorf School of Princeton and the Princeton Junior School.
She lives and works on the banks of the Lockatong Creek preserve in Stockton, New Jersey.
