Susanne Kraißer

Susanne Kraißer, born in 1977, bases her current sculptural work on a very broad and well-founded education both in the craft techniques of wood sculpture and in the study of free sculpture at the Academy of Fine Arts Nuremberg with the appointment as a master student and a further study of free sculpture in Bremen with Prof. Altenstein. After her diploma at the Academy of Fine Arts Bremen with distinction and renewed appointment as a master student (2007), the artist has settled as a freelance sculptor in Belzig, Brandenburg.
