Photographer Susan Lirakis

Featured Artist for May and June


The featured artist for May and June is photographer Susan Lirakis. She began making photographs when she was six years old, after receiving a camera as a baptism gift from godparents. She makes photographs in an attempt to make sense of the world, and to create, discover, and as a means of expression. This particular series, From Our Hearts, Sharing our Stories, is a collection of photographic portraits paired with interviews from people talking about what allows them to feel most alive and purposeful. If you download a free app for a QR code reader, you can hear excerpts from the interviews as well as reading the printed statement.
 
Susan has been honored to receive awards and fellowships for further advancement of her work through the NH State Council of the Arts, the National Endowment for the Arts, the League of New Hampshire Craftsmen, the Clowes Foundation, and McLaughlin Residency Fellowship.
