La Vue, examines womens intricate relationships with self and beauty, offering a glimpse into the often-complex interplay between self-perception and societal expectations. Susan ventured into the varying landscapes of rural Utah, employing the magic of long exposure and light painting to breathe fresh life into long forgotten cars and trucks that sit rusting in fields and pastures, for her series Out to Pasture. And she attempts to transport viewers to the vibrant streets of France, New York, and San Francisco, in Its a Total Street Show. This series serves as a magical passport, offering a front-row seat to the captivating and diverse tapestries of urban life in these iconic locales. As her photographic journey unfolds, and she continues to evolve from a novice to an experienced artist, she remains dedicated to the pursuit of transforming the commonplace into indelible memories. She hopes to create visual narratives that transcend the present, ensuring their resonance with generations yet to come.
