Who is Susan Mikula?

However, after two years and a few other exhibitions, Susan decided to leave her career as a photographer aside, and focus on other things. She met her girlfriend in 1999 at her own yard; Rachel, as a part of dissertation work, had to complete several odd jobs, including working in someone’s yard, and it was destiny that brought these two women together.
To get back on Susan’s career, she returned to photography in 2007 and continued to use the same equipment, despite the major advancement of the photography. Nevertheless, that didn’t stop her from becoming one of the most-praised of photographers.

Rise to Fame

With her 2007 career resurgence, Susan slowly started taking over the American scene, exhibiting her work at The Boston State House, Massachusetts, then at CHC Gallery, New York City, George Lawson Gallery, San Francisco, William Baczek Fine Arts, Northampton, and at Rice Polak Gallery, Provincetown both in Massachusetts, among many other prominent galleries across the US, which only helped her increase her popularity and net worth.
Aside from exhibitions, Susan has also published several photo books, including “Susan Mikula, Photographs, 2008” in 2009, then “Susan Mikula, American Bond” in 2011, “u.X, Susan Mikula” in 2013, and “Susan Mikula, Kilo” (2017), the sales of which have also added to her net worth.
