My First STUDIO SALE

Welcome to a special sale of my work dating back to the 1980s.

Over the years my work has ranged widely in subject matter and technique, but at its heart is the landscape, pictorial composition, intuitiveness, lyricism, and embracing the moment. Locations range from the Appalachian Mountains to the American West, Egypt, Cambodia, and Venice. Technological advances during my years of curatorial/arts administration have influenced how my work has evolved. The early color images were film-based and initially processed and printed by a lab. Digital technology enabled me to individualize image-making processes in my studio. Collaborations with other women artists—initially with photographer Jennifer Anne Tucker in Pennsylvania to more recently with artist Wendy Lemen Bredehoft and dancer/choreographer Margaret Wilson (Sequencing Through Time and Place)—have broadened my creative practice. In all cases, my commitment to composing at the time of exposure begins the process of bringing images to life through the final print.

As I now work on a solo exhibition of my current View from Home series at the O’Sullivan Art Gallery at Regis University (March 2022), I seek good homes for the work available below to be able to fully realize this upcoming exhibition. Please look, enjoy, and consider adding to your collection or gifting to others as the holiday season approaches.

View from Home selected for Election 2020: What Matters

It Is What It Is (May 6, 2020)

Susan Moldenhauer’s sweeping meditation on the Trump administration is deceptively beautiful, with images as soaring as the western skies she resides under, but when paired with words, the images are empowered with purpose. — Billy Howard, curator, Election 2020: What Matters

Recently, a selection of my View from Home | Season IV images–all made since the onset of the COVIC-19 pandemic–were selected for publication in the online photography magazine called South X Southeast. Curated by photographer and writer Billy Howard, the series Election 2020: What Matters poses a compelling idea in this pandemic age of social isolation–to consider a series by artists thinking about the future as we approach the presidential election. The result is an intriguing collection of essays that explore what is occupying artists and writers’ minds and work in considering What Matters Now. Published in July 2020, this and the next three issues of South X Southeast photomagazine will include essays on this topic.

I wish to express my sincere thanks to Billy Howard and publisher Nancy McCrary for including my work in this important series.
