Using photography, collage, and re-photography, Comber’s images combine representations of figures, objects and moments within illusory space and real space bringing the real and the imagined into a shared frame and a common realm. Her work frequently deals with the nature of photographs as both tactile and visual objects – original photographs are often the subjects of the final photographs, as they are cut out, altered and ultimately re-photographed into the final compositions.
She not only creates series of photo-based art but has expanded to explore her first loves of traditional pen drawing and collage. She has been exhibited, published and collected internationally. Her work has been awarded through Magenta Foundation’s Flash Forward competition for multiple years and was selected for their compilation Carte Blanch which was the first of its kind to highlight excellence in Canadian photography. She recently concluded an expansive commission to document a sliver of Ontario's Greenbelt by walking segments of the Bruce Trail for Toronto's Harbourfront Centre, which can be viewed in a public outdoor exhibition until June of 2012.

She is a graduate of Ryerson University’s Image Arts program and works and lives in Grey County, Ontario, but also bases out of Guelph and Toronto.
