Susan Roche

“Through my work, I strive to capture the beauty of hope and change after devastation."

The use of photography crafted under and in the water, monochromatic pigment inks on fine papers, pastels, oils, and sweeping layered cold & and hot melted wax to create fluidity, sometimes adding surface scratchings for perfect imperfections. This artistic process satisfies my search for tranquility.”

Susan Roche lives in Point Pleasant, New Jersey, and was raised in Colts Neck, NJ. In 2012 she experienced the devastation of Superstorm Sandy.

Susan holds a bachelor’s degree in Interdisciplinary Studies ( Fine Art and Communications ) from Monmouth University. Her professional career began at eighteen, working as a local newspaper photojournalist. Her patience and empathy quickly developed into a high-end family portrait specialist there. After Superstorm Sandy, she began following her to share her art in new ways; this is when the ethereal underwater mixed media work began.

She holds a bachelor’s degree in Interdisciplinary Arts and Communication from Monmouth University, NJ. She has extensive study in fine and applied arts.
