Credentials
- Art Fair Participant
Susan Handau holds a BA in Art History and began her career in the 1990s with collaged watercolors, forming layered landscapes by cutting and reconstructing abstract paintings, then securing the new compositions with thread to emphasize texture. Her later work expanded to assemblage, incorporating wax and fibrous materials to build dimensional pieces from flat substrates. Currently, she works with acrylic, ink, and plaster. Handau received an Individual Artist Grant from the Nevada Arts Council and the National Endowment for the Arts in 2023 for a project on demystifying aging. Her work has been featured on Reno’s PBS “ARTEFFECTS” and has aired nationally on PBS stations.
