Susan de Witt
Printmaker: 

Susan was born and raised in Canada. She became interested in photography in the year 2000, and found a good school in Seattle called the Photographic Center Northwest where she studied for four years. She also took numerous workshops from people whose work she admired - Mary Ellen Mark, Tim Rudman, Christopher James and Shelby Lee Adams. After a few years of enjoying documentary photography, the gauzy nostalgic look of Lith printing became her main interest, and she printed all of her images this way for the next 8-10 years in her darkroom. In time, her shooting and printing style gave her work the signature visual appearance that she is known for today. 

A few years after moving to Portland, she decided to close up her darkroom and found new interest in intaglio printmaking. Today she produces all her work as polymer photogravures.
