June Art Demonstration

The Fremont Art Association (FAA) is delighted to have Susan Harding as the guest artist at its virtual General Meeting and Art Demo on Wednesday, June 5, 2024, at 1:00 pm.

Harding is an award-winning photographer whose thought-provoking body of work masterfully captures the essence of life’s fleeting moments with immense respect and compassion for her subjects. In her demo, “Photography—the Creative Realm,” Harding will showcase her intriguing approach and technique in creating collages that integrate her spellbinding photographic portraits with her intricate photorealistic charcoal drawings.

Harding holds a BFA from San José State University in Photography. She has exhibited her work from coast to coast in the US as well as internationally. At her core, Harding is an unabashed and authentic storyteller. Her expansive body of work unveils intimate reflections of ourselves and of our humanity.

In one of her most recent and intriguing exhibitions, “La Vue” at San José State University in March 2024, Harding put the lens on how societal pressures from objectification to invisibility influence women’s relationships with their own bodies. Her creative process for this show involved thoughtful engagements with women to learn their stories, followed by a photo shoot and the selection of one image from the series of photographs for each subject. She then tore/cut the photograph apart and drew in the missing pieces. This consolidated representation of each woman, as Harding puts it, was the act of “tearing apart and putting back together stronger.”

Harding’s talent and life experiences have conspired to bring her to this juncture of boundless creative energy. Her genuine interest in her subjects, craftsmanship, and keen eye make us stop in our tracks to look at her exquisite photographs.

You may view Harding’s through the buttons below.

Join us for a fascinating showcase of fine art Photography. The demo (free to attend) will be held via Zoom. Participants must register in advance and will receive the Zoom link via email.
