Living artist Susan Kae Grant obtained her MFA from the University of Wisconsin-Madison where she focused on Photography and Book Arts in 1979. She taught at Wayne State University from 1979-1981, and then became a Professor and Head of the Photography program at Texas Woman’s University. She is also a staff member of the International Center of Photography where she teaches workshops on bookmaking. She has produced 13 limited edition handmade books. Her most recent book Shadow Memory was created during a 2005 residency at Visual Studies Workshop in Rochester New York. With a career spanning thirty years, Grant has enmeshed her spiritual life with her work, using intuition and self-exploration to guide her. Her photo series begins with years of research, trials of materials and hunting for the perfect props. Taking photographs over several years, thoroughly exploring each idea, she peruses the perfect image until all problems are resolved. Her images and books are multilayered and complex, resulting in uniquely designed, and content-rich using materials such as fur, and lead sheeting. Grant has conducted bookmaking workshops, lectured on artists’ books and exhibited her work throughout the United States, Canada, Europe, Australia, British Columbia, Africa, and Japan. Her works are included in numerous public collections including The George Eastman House, The J. Paul Getty Museum, The Minneapolis Art Institute, The Tokyo Museum of Photography, the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston and The Victoria and Albert Museum National Library. She is represented by Conduit Gallery in Dallas, Texas; Verve Gallery of Photography Santa Fe, NM; Modernbook Gallery, Palo Alto, CA; Gallery BMG, Woodstock, New York: and Vamp & Tramp Booksellers, LTD, Birmingham, AL.
