Suzette Morganelli

Suzette Morganelli is well known for her stunning waterscapes and Lake Murray sunsets. Using the rich twilight colors as a painter’s palette, she has produced a much sought-after series of one of South Carolina’s most attractive natural resources. Her robust evening colors are nestled among the ever-changing subtle hues of sunset over water, leaving the name Morganelli synonymous with breathtaking artistry.

Suzette has spent most of her life working in the financial services arena helping people overcome financial woes and hardships. She finds peace and serenity in capturing her tranquil compositions. She began her photography career in 2000. Her inspiration came from her love of the water and Lake Murray, having grown up around the lake, and from a well-known master photographer friend. Through the encouragement of a friend and business owner in the art world Suzette developed her first open edition giclee` print, “Summer Hues”.

Summer Hues was taken in July of 2003 on a point just at the tip of Shull Island in Gilbert, SC as the mid summer sun was beginning its evening decline. Taken at a time when Lake Murray was at its lowest draw down in history because of the reconstruction of the dam, this gives Summer Hues its own uniqueness. The islands exposed in the full print will, in all likelihood, never be seen again. It was at this time that Suzette made the decision to make Summer Hues her first open edition giclee` print, a printmaking method of high-quality utilizing continuous tone technology and a sprayed ink process making the reproduction 85 years archival. The panorama and full print of “Summer Hues” have moved her career to new heights in the art world. Open edition giclee` prints are also available of “Ethereal Orange Sky”, “Winter Blues” and “Sunset Finale”.

In June, 2006 Suzette introduced her newest giclee` print,” Shem Creek Ladies, a limited edition print of shrimp boats along the banks of beautiful Shem Creek in Mount Pleasant, near Charleston, South Carolina.

She has an entire portfolio of sunsets over Lake Murray and has added other historical South Carolina landmarks. Her photography has been used for promotional, marketing and advertising purposes by business firms, throughout the south and her work is displayed in businesses, restaurants and galleries in Columbia, Lexington, Chapin and Charleston.
