Susan Harding is a photographer, artist, and curator whose work reveals the quiet beauty of everyday life. Born and raised in rural Utah, Susan came of age in a conservative community where, as a queer child, she often felt out of place. That early search for belonging evolved into a lifelong journey of discovery—one that took her from small-town Utah to the urban energy of Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York, and Europe. Along the way, she found her voice through photography. Her work ranges from portraits that explore women’s relationships with themselves to visual stories about family, aging, and the overlooked poetry of the domestic sphere. Whether documenting weathered trucks or capturing moments of intimacy and resilience in her series Cooking with Great Grandma and COVID’sEND, Susan’s images celebrate the richness of life in its most familiar forms. Susan’s photography has been exhibited widely, with solo and group shows from San Francisco to Philadelphia and London to Barcelona. She has received numerous awards, including first place in both the People and Street Photography categories of the 2023 Julia Margaret Cameron Awards. Her work has also appeared in juried exhibitions and publications such as Artdoc Magazine. Susan currently serves as Art Director at Wheelhouse of Willow Glen in San Jose, where she curates exhibitions and fosters a vibrant local arts community. She is also a member of the Board of Directors at WORKS Art and Performance Center in San Jose. In addition to her curatorial work, she has collaborated independently with clients such as Stanford University, San Jose State University, West Valley College, and History Park San Jose—maintaining a clear distinction between her independent practice and her role at the Wheelhouse. She holds a BFA in Photography with a minor in Pictorial Art from San Jose State University and an AA in Photographic Art from De Anza College. Now living in Los Angeles with her wife, Susan continues to create, exhibit, and mentor. While she’s proud of her artistic accomplishments, her greatest joy is her family—especially her grandchildren, who remain her most beloved subjects and muses.
