Susan was born in the North East of England. For
more than twenty years now she has felt compelled to create art. In
2006 her first nervous attempt at painting on canvas proved to be a
wonderful turning point which sparked a chain of life changing events
leading to exhibitions across Cumbria, Newcastle and Edinburgh.
“I like my work to have a happy or magical
element to it. Art should make you smile as well as think. I feel I
have the perfect career. When I am painting everything seems right,
the outside world falls away and I am immersed in my own subject and
experience. When starting each new painting I visualise in my mind the
key elements of the work and paint directly onto the canvas. I use acrylics
because they dry very quickly. Every
painting is a challenge for pleasure and enjoyment.”
