This fine art book uses photographs to represent that trajectory of a woman’s life

Artist Statement I look through the lens of my camera as a painter may see with a brush. It is my tool to express what I visualize. My images often blend the natural world with layered reflections, often intend intending to bring the unnoticed into view. I use abstraction with a tendency for intentional obscuration, but have recognizable features of an internal search for connection. With transparency, translucency and reflection, I strive to portray mystery and magical beauty in an environment. Learn more about Sue’s photographic work at her web site.
