About Susannah

Susannah is a painter specialising in figurative and landscape work. Her pieces seek to capture the person or place in a way that a photograph cannot.

Working predominantly with oil paint and most often directly from life, her work is fluid and fresh. Observation is key to all her work; even her more abstract pieces will have begun in response to the subject before her.

Susannah trained as a Textile designer and worked on Children’s illustration projects before giving her time to painting more recently. Her sensitivity to colour, shape and pattern has continued throughout these transitions.
