Susan Hale Kemenyffy (born 1941) is an American artist who works primarily in drawing and print media.

She is known for the innovative raku art she created in collaboration with her husband Steven Kemenyffy.

1960

Although she is primarily a graphic artist, Ms. Kemenyffy made important contributions to American ceramics in the late 1960s and early 1970s, particularly in regard to experimental raku techniques.

She explained in an interview, "He was doing a lot of ceramics and he hated doing the surfaces...so he said why don't you keep drawing on some of these pieces and this is how we started."

Steven Kemenyffy stated that their interest in raku came out of practical considerations: "We [Steven and Susan] were doing a variety of workshops in a variety of different media. Raku was always an official way of making pieces in a short period of time…In raku it seems to compress all the firings into one."

For much of Kemenyffy's career, she has worked in tandem with her husband Steven Kemenyffy.

1987

In 1987 Susan stated about their collaborative works: "Steven is the [sculptor], I am the drawer. These works would not exist if it weren’t for the sculpture; if it weren't for the clay. The clay entity comes first and my drawings come second."

James Paul Thompson further clarifies this relationship (as observed in 1987): "Steven Kemenyffy uses patterns as a point of departure for his work, while Susan Kemenyffy allows the people and things around her to become partial inspiration in addition to what Steven gives her."
