Suzanne Comer - Artist/Photographer

About Me

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.

Opening Reception for
"Forgotten Philadelphia" Exhibit

Friday, October 5, 5-7pm
Fairmount Park Welcome Center 
Love Park, 16th and JFK Boulevard, Philadelphia



An invitational show of juried artists.
After submitting a resume, examples of work and a site proposal, 15 artists were selected to create a new piece based on their proposed location. I was one of the artists selected to create an artwork specifically for this show.

Once the artists were chosen, a writer or poet was assigned to write about the proposed location. Both the artworks and framed fiction and poetry are hung in the show.
