Creative Growth artist Susan Janow is featured in Self-Made: A Century of Inventing Artists at the American Folk Art Museum, a major exhibition that challenges outdated narratives about self-taught artists. Self-Made centers sixty artists who have depicted and identified themselves on their own terms.

Organized around self-portraits, alter egos, and autobiographies, the exhibition places artists' agency at the heart of interpretation.
