[2] Caiserman-Roth was also an associate member of the Royal Canadian Academy[3] and the first painter to receive the Governor General's Award for Visual Media and Art.

[6][7] Her parents were Sarah Wittal, the founder of a children's wear company called Goosey Gander, and Hananiah Meir Caiserman, a civic leader in the Montreal Jewish community and a union organizer and activist.

[10] During that time in New York, she also studied at the American Artists School, at the Art Students League, and with realist painter Moses Soyer.

[11] She studied with Albert Dumouchel in graphics under a Canada Council Senior Fellowship at the École des Beaux-Arts in Montreal in 1961 to 1962.

[2] Caiserman-Roth studied political murals as they explored Mexico bringing fresh ideas back to the McGill Ghetto where they lived until 1956.

[15] She continued successfully as a practicing artist, receiving numerous awards and memberships, and having her work featured in solo and group exhibitions.

[11][18] She also served as a critic for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, offered critiques to individual artists and education groups, and gave numerous lectures in Canada and the United States.

[19] Her first formal influence was her art teacher, Alexandre Bercovitch, who taught her through private lessons at her family home in Montreal in 1932.

While painting under his tutelage, at the age of eleven, Caiserman-Roth received an Honourable Mention at the Art Association of the Montreal Spring Exhibition.

[12] She also learned about technique, both conventional and unconventional, from working with Jennifer Dickson at Montreal's Saidye Bronfman Centre from the late 1960s to 70s.

[20] Based on her education and influences, Caiserman-Roth established herself as a figurative artist concerned with the human condition and worked through various media: painting, lithography (printmaking), etching, and drawing.

[12] In the early 2000s, she expressed concern for the domination of monetized private studios and their potential corruption of conventional methods of printing, especially with the introduction of photography into printmaking.

However, rules are made to be broken, because this is how we push the frontiers out further ... through deeper self knokwledge and the occasional breakthrough into new forms and ways of doing things.

Modern Canadian painting was defined by this generation that drew its inspiration from rise of socialism, the great depression and the effects of war.
