About

Susan Isaacson is a photographic artist exploring themes of time, memory, and the emotional topography of life transitions. She is drawn to the natural landscape as a means to connect to and represent her inner world. Her work is influenced by studies of mindfulness and Judaism, with its emphasis on the sanctification of time.

Following a twenty year career in strategic marketing at a Fortune 100 company, Susan established a dedicated photography practice in Chicago, Illinois and Laguna Beach, California. Her work has been exhibited in juried group exhibitions throughout the U.S. and internationally, including: PhotoPlace Gallery (VT), Center for Fine Art Photography (CO), SE Center for Photography (SC), SxSE Gallery (GA), A. Smith Gallery (TX), Silver Eye Photography Center (PA), Koehnline Museum (IL), the Chicago Botanic Gardens (IL), and Fotonostrum Gallery (Barcelona, Spain). 

Susan is a represented artist at Perspective Gallery in Evanston IL,  where she has mounted two solo exhibitions. Her series, We Share The Same Breath, was awarded an Honorable Mention in the 19th Annual Julia Margaret Cameron awards and was selected as a 2023 Critical Mass Finalist. Susan's work has been featured in Black + White Photography (UK) and Shots Magazine.
