Suzanne Rumbaugh is both a painter and photographer. Due to her extensive background as a painter, her photographs generally take on a “painterly” quality. Reflected in both her painting and photography is the essence of a moment in time with an eye to underlying universal elements of light, texture and form. In her work there also exists a timeless quality - one of harmony and balance.

Her photographs are sometimes abstract or mysterious in subject and often allegorical in nature. In a sense they become visual poetry. Others present a straightforward celebration of a moment in time as observed by the artist/photographer.

Suzanne grew up in Skaneateles, New York in the beautiful Finger Lakes region of that state. She attended the Pennsylvania State University as an undergraduate with a major in graphic design and later studied at Parsons and Bank Street College in New York City. She is the former Art Director of the Stevenson School in Pebble Beach, California. Her work is currently featured in California at the Carmel Valley Art Association in Carmel Valley and the Main Street Artists gallery in Quincy.
