Susan Fenton is a photographer and painter based in Pennsylvania who created these mysterious and elegant hand-painted photographs. In this write-up for a prior show at the North Dakota Museum of Art Susan describes her process:
Technically my photographs are black and white silver prints, printed on fiber-based paper, that are brown-toned and then hand-painted with photographic oil pigments.
The result is images that are timeless and beautiful.
