Suzanne Anker (born August 6, 1946) is an American visual artist and theorist.
Considered a pioneer in Bio Art., she has been working on the relationship of art and the biological sciences for more than twenty five years.
Her practice investigates the ways in which nature is being altered in the 21st century.
Concerned with genetics, climate change, species extinction and toxic degradation, her work calls attention to the beauty of life and the "necessity for enlightened thinking about nature’s 'tangled bank'.” Anker frequently assembles with "pre-defined and found materials" botanical specimens, medical museum artifacts, laboratory apparatus, microscopic images and geological specimens.
