Juror Bio:  Sue Mangan is a conservation and environmental visual  storyteller from Norfolk VA. Her work has won honors at the  VB Art Center, D’Art Center, SE Center for Photography,  Suffolk Art Gallery and the Virginia Conservation Network. 

"My background has always involved telling stories of people,  of places, of events. When I moved to Virginia in 2021, I  turned my eye, and my camera, toward the Chesapeake Bay.  My images explore the fragility of this beautiful space as she  reaches a critical moment. She suffers from pollutants both large and small. She is directly impacted by the rising seas of  climate change. My work seeks to share the story of this  beautiful and threatened place."  - Sue Mangan
