Sushanna Stern worked professionally at the nexus of public art, education, and human rights – partnering with nongovernmental organizations, educational institutions, businesses, and cultural groups. After the passing of her husband Arthur Stern in 2021, she took over managing Arthur Stern Studios Architectural Glass (Benicia) until closing the business in April 2023. Currently, she represents the estate and legacy of Arthur Stern and pursues her work as a creative. Sushanna credits an earlier Arts Benicia-sponsored panel on estate planning with giving her tools to navigate the complex decisions that followed her husband’s passing.
