Steven Rudin is a visual artist, speaker, teacher, and retired psychiatrist based in New York City. Rudin reimagines hand-cut paper collage as a metaphor for memory and identity. A blend of precision and whimsy, his multilayered compositions draw viewers into a dialogue about the dynamic nature of the mind. His art philosophy examines how stories can be put together in many different ways using the same parts. Rudin’s lively exhibitions, talks, and classes inspire participants to visualize their inner lives as collage.

In 2017, Rudin made the shift to art full time after nearly two decades in clinical, academic, and leadership positions at Columbia University. He holds degrees from Columbia University, Cornell University, and the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. As an instructor at the Art Students League of New York, Rudin leads workshops delving into collage and creative process. He is a frequent guest lecturer in a variety of settings including the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Clarinda Carnegie Art Museum, and the New York Film Academy. Rudin’s work has been featured in Contemporary Collage Magazine, Aspire Magazine, and the Brut Journal. His collages have been exhibited internationally in galleries, public spaces, and art fairs the USA, Mexico, and France.
