Galapagos Art Space writes:

"An internationally exhibited artist, Sussman creates work that displays a stunning eye for the overlay of human and natural architectures. 'My work is an exploration of man's complex relationship with nature, and thereby, himself,' says Sussman. Sussman's work has been shown recently at Jen Bekman Gallery, Photography 2005 at the Renaissance Society at the University of Chicago, Momenta, White Columns, and was featured in the "Picturing Central Park" auction at Christie's. She holds a BFA from the School of Visual Arts and has been an artist in residence at the MacDowell Colony and Cooper Union. Sussman's work will also appear in Voxumenta at the Vox Populi Gallery in Philadelphia from May 5th through 27th."

Since she was named a Hot Shot last spring, Rachel has also been an artist in residence at the Macdowell Colony and was in the Central Park Conservancy Benefit Auction, Picturing Central Park, in addition to Photography 2005 at the University of Chicago's Renaissance Society. More information on these events can be found in Rachel's CV.
