Janet Suslak Indick incorporates Jewish themes and inspiration from the natural world into her sculptures and medallions. Indick graduated from Hunter College in 1953 and did post-graduate work both there and at The New School. While pursuing her art, she also served as director of the Teaneck Jewish Center Nursery School from 1964 to 1992. She joined the National Association of Women Artists (NAWA) in 1975 and served as president from 1997 to 1999; she also served on the Teaneck Arts Advisory Board from 1982 to 1988. In 1984 she won the Interfaith Forum on Religion, Art, and Architecture (IFRAA) Merit Award for the sculpture “Tree of Life,” which she donated to Temple Beth Rishon. She has been featured in publications such as Women Artists in America (1984), Dictionary of American Sculptors (1984), Contemporary Women Artists (1999), Who’s Who In American Art (2009), and Best American Sculptors (2012). Indick’s sculptures usually involve abstract metal shapes, varying in size from small medallions to large outdoor installations; her work has included large welded sculptures, aluminum and wood wall sculptures, collage sculptures, and, more recently, clay sculptures. Her work has been exhibited at galleries and museums around the world, including the Waterside Gallery in Massachusetts in 1995, the Goethe Museum in Germany in 2000, Museum Wroclaw in Poland in 2002, and Yeshiva University Museum in 2004. Her work has also joined the permanent collections of several synagogues and museums. In 2011 she was inducted into the Hunter College Hall of Fame. In 2017 she won The Marquis Who's Who Lifetime Achievement Award.
