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.

"Forgotten Philadelphia" Invitational Exhibit
Presented by Philadelphia Stories

My proposal to create a photomontage based on the "Dream Garden" glass mosaic mural, designed by artist Maxfield Parrish and executed by Louis Comfort Tiffany. (http://www.ushistory.org/tour/dream-garden.htm) was selected by jury to be a part of  the "Forgotten Philadelphia" Exhibit. The opening reception was on Friday in conjunction with the city-wide First Friday art event.


My photomontage "Elation" was created from selections of 6 different photos of different sections of the "Dream Garden" mural.

The show explores hidden treasures from the Philadelphia area through the work of local artists and writers. Art, poems and short fiction inspired by specific heritage sites were created specifically for the exhibit.

The opening reception was a fun event. The show continues through November 9, 2012 at Fairmount Park Welcome Center, Love Park, 16th and JFK Boulevard, Philadelphia.
