are in action photos.” She is also a nanny while doing her photography business and going to school. The children she nannies and babysits are her inspiration. Her family and friends are very supportive in her work and help her whenever she needs it. Samantha does most of her photography outdoors to capture the natural beauty in life.

The true and real expressions are in action photos.”
As her business continues to grow, she would like to explore and add print in with her photography. For example, making your digital photo an etching from plastic or a screen print onto anything the customer would like. During school, Samantha would use her photos and make them a print in almost every medium.

Mirror Etching Ink on watercolor paper 5�x7� This etching not only shows Kayden through a mirror but it also shows the love kids have with mirrors. Not everyone that sees my work would think it was Kayden but they would see a baby. If you have children you would know their love with looking into mirrors.

Kayden Snow Digital Photo 8�x10� As I am babysitting Kayden, I look outside and see our first big snowfall of the season. I grabbed him and bundled him up.

Title: Windy City Size 9x12 Medium: Digital Another name for the city of Chicago is the “Windy City,” and I always wondered why. Now, the answer is so clear to me, after experiencing the city for myself. The “Windy city" was the last piece from the Chicago theme. Instead of using illustrator, I was using Corel painter 12 and Adobe Photoshop CS6. It took me forever to finish this piece, because I repainted every single image I use for it in Corel Painter. Photoshop was used for finishing the piece by pulling all the paintings together.

Title: Chitown Size: 9x12 Medium: Digital “Chitown” is the piece that took me the most time to create. Choosing what I wanted on it and laying it out was not so hard. The worst part, I think, was the text that read “Chitown”, because I had to create some of the letters for it. The characters, used in the text, are made out of letters from a photo of the Chicago Theater sign. I was mostly using Photoshop to edit photos, and to lay everything out. There are a couple of barely visible lines, in the piece, that were created in Illustrator.

A face emerges from the shimmering drop of a waterfall. Feathers blend into the waves of a girl’s long hair. Sue Buenger’s belief about the relationship between people and nature are the subject of her paintings from the series “Children of Earth”. Her paintings in this body of work combine portraits of people with elements and impressions of nature.
painting supplies. Her grandmother gave Sue her very first easel, which today sits in a corner of her art studio. There were numerous family field trips to The Art Institute of Chicago and her bookshelves are lined with books about famous artists given to her by aunts and uncles. From early on, Vincent Van Gough has been one of her favorite artists.
The blending of person and nature in Sue’s artwork is meant to address the feeling of separation from environment that some people feel and thus close the gap between humanity and nature.
Since her childhood, Sue’s favorite subject matter has been the human form. After graduating from high school she attended The American Academy of Art in Chicago where she discovered her love of live figure drawing. In 2012, she returned to her formal education and is completing an Associate of Applied Science Degree in Digital Art and Design the summer of 2013.
Since her childhood, Sue’s favorite subject matter has been the human form.
Her paintings start as separate photographs. She then uses Adobe Photoshop to crop and manipulate the two images until she has composed one seamless portrait. Sue uses images she has taken of friends and family along with those taken of local landscapes. Sue’s family encouraged her interest in art from an early age. Her mom bought her how-to books along with drawing and

She is also big into fantasy because to her, it is an escape from reality and a way of seeing different things in a new perspective. Comic books and video games drag her into that story line and sometimes just spark up and give her ideas for a future project to do. Music is also an inspiration in her artwork because the rhythm and lyrics of a song helps her unwind and just lets her imagination take control and create stories or images from it.

You see hundreds of people’s eyes and can tell that person either happy or sad, feeling guilty or stressed. Although, trough this art I have tried to show this girl was feeling inside. As you can see she is looking at the sky thinking that she want to fly to the sky. Wishing she was a bird. I wanted to show someone who is lonely, sad and trapped. This was an art that came out of my heart.

“Katie” This photo was taken during a shoot done about a year ago. We decided to try something a little different instead of the traditional portraits. The head piece is just a bunch of necklaces placed on top of the model’s head. We added the gold lipstick and finger nails to compliment her eye color, which is natural.
