SUSANNE BELCHER, an award-winning mixed media semi-abstract painter, collagist and photographer, began incorporating photography into her paintings and collages several years ago. Her experimentation with transparency film, scanning images, layering, overlaying and collaging these elements into her creations extended her visual language. Her images, always compelling, whether minimal or complex, retain a consistent emotional narrative component that is unique, sophisticated and often surreal and mysterious. Her current work continues to be inspired by her interest in architecture and photography, her background in psychology, love of nature, sustainability, and things spiritual. She has exhibited in Germany and galleries throughout So. California in both solo and group exhibitions since 1991. The recipient of numerous awards, her work is held in private and corporate collections in the U.S. and Europe. She was a founding partner and represented artist of the former Abbot Kinney Art Gallery (Venice, CA), is a featured artist at Gloria Delson Contemporary Arts Gallery (GDCA) and was represented by the former Los Angeles Center for Digital Art (LACDA). She is an active member of Women Painters West, Thousand Oaks Art Association, California Art League and sits on the Board of Collage Artists of America and The Fine Arts Club of Pasadena. She is also co-author of an art/nature essay book “Looking for 527” about the journeys of a Yellowstone Wolf killed in 2009 In the first Montana wolf hunt (available on Amazon.com).
