Luminous gets the closest. The images feel almost like pearls to me. And the design, paper, everything. Not the least of which is your amazing words. Your writing really touched my heart.”

Signed Fine Art Prints Now Available

Now you can order signed archival prints, including any of the photographs in BOSQUE, Winter Wings.

BOSQUE, Winter Wings is an offering of love and praise for the magical landscapes and incredible flocks of migratory birds who descend upon Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge each winter.

The gregarious sandhill cranes, whose ancient cries have echoed through the Middle Rio Grande Valley for countless millennia, have inspired this series of wildlife images. A source of wonder and joy in the midst of grief and uncertainty, the more than human world speaks to us with a language that is more powerful and comforting than words.

An award-winning photographer and designer, Susan combines her creative passion with a call to action to receive and reciprocate the love the earth gives us every day. May the splendor of the more than human world resonate with the beauty contained in our own good hearts.
