Susanne Brandt is an artist and arts educator specializing in photography. She lives and works between Connecticut and Maine. Her current artwork draws inspiration from the natural beauty of the New England coastal landscapes. Her work explores the deep connection between art and nature, focusing on abstract botanicals that reflect elements of mysticism and spirituality. Susanne creates painterly, ethereal images that invite quiet, internal dialogue with the natural world. Her cyanotypes and Phytograms often incorporate ocean water, seaweed, and sand—materials that reflect her deep commitment to raising awareness about the urgent need to protect our oceans and marine life. Susanne is passionate about sharing her knowledge and inspiring students of all ages to explore their creativity and connect more deeply with the environment through art.
