Susan Miller-Havens

Miller-Havens is known for her ability to convey psychological depth by inviting viewer and subject into a space of visual correspondence studied oil painting with nationally recognized artists Richard Yarde and James Wilson Rayen. In her figurative work she transcends the representational, in order to comment on the subtleties of human character and relationships. Her signature grey backgrounds, cropping and unexpected use of color bring the viewer into an intimate relationship with the image.

Born in Newark, New Jersey in 1944, she has been a resident of Cambridge Massachusetts for 40 yrs. Miller-Havens is an artist whose first 20-year career was in the world of psychology. She was the first psychiatric nurse hired by the City of Cambridge and the Founder of The Cambridge Hospital’s Psychiatric Nursing Department. Her second 20 year career has been in art. She holds a degree with Honors in Studio Art from Wellesley College and a Doctorate in Human Development from The Harvard School of Education. She is an active member of The Arts in Education Advisory Council at Harvard University and The National Association of Women Artists, New York City where she has twice received awards for her figurative paintings.
