Susan Hoenig connects Earth and Art to make visible the relationship between habitat, plant and animal life. She studies the evolutionary impact of the forest understory. In 2022, she received the Indigenuity Contest Honoring the Lessons of Our Mother Earth from the Museum of the Native American History in Bentonville, Arkansas. In 2022, Susan had an exhibition: "Uprooted Trees, Magicicadas and Climate Change" at the Princeton Public Library, sponsored by a grant from the Puffin Foundation. In 2020, Susan was artist-in-residence at Mountain Lakes Nature Preserve in Princeton, NJ where she collaborated with Friends of Princeton Open Space to draw attention to the value and beauty of native trees. One of Susan's leaf sculptures, the American chestnut, is situated alongside newly planted American chestnut saplings with 100% native seeds. A documentary was made of this restoration project. Recently, in 2024, Susan had an exhibition, "Rhythms of the Land" at the Hutchins Galleries,NJ.
