Atlanta native Susan Wirt studied in New York and London to become a classical musician. After working as a professional bassoonist for several years, she held management positions in a tech firm before moving to higher education, where she served as the Executive Director of Continuing Education at Columbus State University in Columbus, Georgia. Susan retired in 2020 and, after 20 years of creating lifelong learning opportunities for the community, took a “busman’s holiday” and studied digital photography. With an affinity for contemporary painting and sculpture, she became intrigued with creating similar effects with digital tools. That began the road to exploration and a burning desire to make photos that enable the viewer to look for something else.
