Early life and education

Seubert was born in 1970 in Indianapolis, Indiana,[3] the daughter of a nuclear physicist and a Russian scholar and attorney.[4]

Seubert earned a B.F.A. at Pacific Northwest College of Art in 1992.[5]

Career

Seubert's first assignment for Newsweek was related to the 1994 Tonya Harding story. Since that time, according to Ifanie Bell, "The Portland-based photographer still makes her living taking pictures, but she has turned her lenses toward capturing stunning shots of landscapes, life and leisure."[6]

In 2011 the Oregon Arts Commission said, "Seubert’s photography has been exhibited throughout the United States and abroad, including the 2005 Northwest Biennial, Tacoma Art Museum; Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, 2004; and the Portland Art Museum’s 1999 and 2001 Oregon Biennial. In 2001, Seubert was a finalist for the prestigious Betty Bowen Award at the Seattle Art Museum."

Critical reception

National Geographic Travel Expeditions said Seubert's photography represents "a variety of subjects and... a sense of place through her wide-ranging imagery. Susan's in-depth knowledge of digital technologies and her multimedia skills keep her at the cutting edge of visual storytelling."

Ken Johnson of the New York Times wrote, "Elegant emblematic photographs by Susan Seubert symbolizing various phobias address danger only from an indirect, dryly philosophical distance."[7]

Bob Hicks of Oregon Arts Watch wrote of her exhibit "Not a Day Goes By",
