Suzanne Comer - Artist/Photographer

My Photo
Name:
Location: Pennsylvania, United States

My formal fine arts training focused on the areas of oil painting and printmaking. Since acquiring my first digital camera in 2002, I have explored photography as an art form. My resulting works have been selected for many juried shows and Philadelphia Stories Magazine each year. With the perspective of a painter, I assemble a "palette" of elements from my photographs to digitally create a new and different whole or montage. The process evolves from creative intuition, synthesizing experiences and reflecting them in an artistic venue. My work is personal, yet mindful of reaching out to the viewer to stimulate their own interpretation and feelings. Therefore, in full circle, creating new personal meanings.

Creating a Web Presence

There are such a limited number of hours in a day! So, how do you accomplish everything on your "to do" list?

My list of things I want to do is always so long. There are so many things I want to accomplish & there, of course, is never enough time to do them all, but I still try!

The past few years, I have devoted my "free" time to shooting digital photographs, creating photo-art images from sections of my photographs, & pursuing avenues for displaying my work. This has mostly entailed entering various competitions & being accepted to juried art shows and publications such as Philadelphia Stories.

However, a designer friend of mine, Michelle, has been bugging me the past few years to have a presence on the web to show my work. So, I set for myself a goal to do just that this month.

The 2006 spring issue of Philadelphia Stories magazine features one of my recent photo-art pieces on the cover (both printed & web magazine), as well as an additional image inside. So, I promised myself I would create a web site to honor the occasion. I decided to create a very simple site, realizing it was more important to create a basic initial site than try to achieve all my goals of what my web site could/should be.

It was also Michelle's idea to connect a blog to my web site. So, to honor all her encouraging suggestions, I decided to add this feature to my basic site.

So, on this March 7th, I am expanding my personal horizons like I once did on March 7th so many years ago! I hope you enjoy my first basic site at http://comersuz.home.comcast.net, as well this new blog. I look forward to hearing from you!
