SUZANNE HEINTZ’s work—described as equal parts photography and theater—makes her an unusual artist. Her professional experience as an art director for television has a strong influence on how she works artistically: make an impact and connect at an essential level with your audience. Since her work is intended for everyone, not exclusively the “art-educated,” she uses mediums that have the most universal appeal. Taboo to most in the art world, humor is her most important medium. Heintz employs satire because she feels that it is crucial to the digestion of what might be perceived as a bitter pill – social criticism.

The external pressures of culture, and the internal pressures she placed on herself to fit into the expectations of that culture, built up over time, until she decided to do something about it. In order to confront it, she felt she had to satirize the idea of conformity to a universally accepted way of life: Married Life. This has been a primary focus of her work for nearly 14 years.

Also participating in the exhibition will be Heintz’s “familyquins”—or plastic family as they are also lovingly referred to… Meet the artist at Second Friday Opening Reception; 6-9 PM.

This exhibition is part of MoP - Month of Photography Denver is a biennial celebration of fine art photography with hundreds of collaborative public events throughout Denver and the region during March and April 2015. The Firehouse Art Center is the sole participating gallery in Longmont.
