Susan has been a full-time artist since 1992. She has worked in various media, ranging from watercolour in which she was trained, to acrylics, oils and mixed media. At heart an inventor, Susane loves a challenge, which has led to many unusual combinations of materials, from found objects to various fibres, and a City and Guild Diploma in Textile Art.
This painting, “Fear”, was inspired by an image reflected in a smashed car wing mirror, and it was awarded the Emerald AYTRA Award from Art Tour International Magazine in 2003. Susan was subsequently named one of the 60 Masters of 2024 by the same organization. Oddly enough this piece was actually the study for the image below, “Closer Than She Appears” which won Best in Show at Touched by Fire in Toronto in 2008, “the show you have to be crazy to enter.”
