‘Art habitually speaks louder than words, or communicates things that frequently go unsaid’.

Susan’s work captures her reflections and feelings towards this crazy, dangerous, yet incredible world; examining the juxta position of the quick headline with the full story, the deep with the shallows, the truth with the fallacy.

But commonly, an odd angled view, a fragment of metal, interesting forms together, or a colour combination will resonate, and then she just paints with no idea where it is going. When satisfied, an unrecognised message that has been lurking in the back of her mind often unintentionally emerges, and makes sense of it all.

Susan aims for a different visual conversation between each viewer and the work.

Susan grew up near Brighton in Sussex. She presently lives in North-West Norfolk .

A heritage of creative talent, St Martins School of Art, and a specialist course in visual merchandising, all led her to spend several years as Display and Exhibition Designer with Dior. 

Switching direction completely, Susan then worked in the third sector, developing, and directing services to support and mentor people living with disability and life altering conditions. Her design roots never left, so she combined her second professional career with kick starting the family interiors studio and building an online gallery. 

'From my work with people whose life had been seismically shifted by trauma or illness, I learned how to see things from very different perspectives'.

'I have painted all my life, but until around 2014 quietly and mainly for myself. Now I’m back to perhaps where I should have been all along' !
