About

"Ms. Liebold's work reflects a deep connection and empathy with her subjects that enables the viewer to cross the space between subject and viewer and into the subject's world. Without artifice or manipulation, she presents the profound dignity and spirit of very poor people. Their human yearnings and strivings evoke within the viewer a self-recognition and, in turn, a profound respect and caring for the subjects."
Traer Sunley, Vice President for Communications, Pact, Inc.

Susan has lived and traveled around the world, as a Peace Corps volunteer, NGO staff, and on photography assignments. She has a Certificate in Photography from the International Center of Photography in New York.
