Susan Doran’s work encompasses papermaking, paper marbling, book arts, and Victorian hair art. She studied at Oswego State University and the Rochester Institute of Technology. After retiring from the Pittsford Central School District, Susan has been teaching in Rochester, the Southern Tier, and at the Chautauqua Institute. Most of her art is created from materials destined for the landfill, repurposing them for contemporary use.
