Sue Jenkins is a fine artist, designer, and educator based in Scranton, PA, who delights in combining her photography with analog and digital collage materials. Using elements like scanned objects, handmade marks, botanical illustrations, acrylic paints, and cut paper with her photos, she crafts richly layered nature inspired digital collage and mixed media worlds filled with plants, animals, and vibrant color. Collectively, the works echo the artist’s biophilic yearning to make work that inspires others to embrace earth and live in harmony with all of nature.
