Susan Cleaver

Susan Cleaver is a photo media artist based in the Whakatipu Basin, NZ. She spent her childhood on a farm near Queenstown, growing up with the nearby rivers, bush and the Southern Alps mountains as her playground.​

​Susan fell in love with photography as a young girl and developed her creative skills over many years. When the digital camera was born, Susan was quick to adopt the new technology. Later after completing a diploma in Database and Website Design, Susan realized the natural symbiosis of photography and digital fine art as a pathway to fulfill her creative imagination.​

Since 2006 Susan has carefully crafted her own personal style of photo media fine art. Applying principles of composition and instinctive use of light and shadow, Susan uses rich artistic visual effects to convey a distinctive mood and unique narrative. She is passionate about the natural world and seeks to convey its inherent beauty by blurring the boundaries of the possible with the mystery of the impossible.
