Susan Pear Meisel

For over fifty years, Susan Pear Meisel has painted colorful, vibrant scenes of landmarks in New York, Washington, D.C., and other major cities across the United States. Whether working in silkscreen, lithography, or acrylic on canvas, she builds color through layered inks, creating surfaces that are both vivid and visually dynamic.

Meisel studied at the Art Students League, the School of Visual Arts, and Parsons School of Design, all in New York. She helped establish the Louis K. Meisel Gallery in New York’s SoHo neighborhood, where it continues to exhibit photorealist artists, realist painters, and sculptors. Her work is included in the collections of the Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum, the Erie Art Museum, and the Library of Congress.
