Susie Leness Gilbert is a New York City based photographer. Susie learned about film photography at an early age from her father, who taught her to develop film and to make prints in a darkroom he built in their home. After a working for many years in book publishing, she studied at International Center for Photography in New York and with the photographer Carol Dragon to learn the art of digital photography. “I have always loved how a photograph can transform the mundane into art," she says, "how an everyday detail becomes beautiful or haunting through the lens of a camera, and the way light can affect so many aspects of an image. It is essential that we challenge our views of the world around us through art, to continue to find new ways of seeing, keeping our minds open the infinite possibilities that exist.” Her work has been exhibited in a group show entitled “SE[>]EN” at Gallery 315 in New York, NY, at the Carriage Barn Art Center in New Canaan, CT, and in the Aquavella Galleries exhibition catalog for “Wayne Thiebaud Mountains 1965-2019.”
