Susan Snipes

Susan Snipes is an interdisciplinary artist based in Cleveland, Ohio, whose media installations respond to the anxieties and disconnection of the digital age. Working with video, sound, digital devices, and often incorporating user-contributed content and interactive elements, she creates immersive spaces that invite reflection and dialogue. Her work encourages audiences to explore their own roles within an interconnected reality where virtual and physical boundaries are increasingly blurred.

Susan holds an MFA in Visual Art from Vermont College of Fine Arts and a BA in Art History from Case Western Reserve University. Susan has exhibited nationally with highlights including a solo exhibition at Massillon Museum (Massillon, Ohio), CalArts in Valencia, California, and CAN Triennial: You Are Here at The Sculpture Center in Cleveland, Ohio. She is a recipient of the Creative Impact Fund from Assembly for the Arts. Her work has been featured in publications such as CAN Journal, Suboart Magazine, and The Earthkeepers Handbook, curated by Kim Abeles and Whitefeather Hunter.

An active advocate for her community, Susan founded NEO Art Opportunities to connect Northeast Ohio artists with exhibitions and other resources. She also established UNDERSTORY, a contemporary art space in Cleveland dedicated to showcasing emerging conceptual and media artists, with the goal of making art more accessible to the public.
