Suzy was born in Surrey and studied art at Brighton Polytechnic, followed by graphic design at Goldsmiths’ College, London, in the late seventies. She has had a career as a graphic designer working in point of sale, advertising and publishing before setting up as a freelance graphic designer.
Following a trip to Brazil in early 2003, Suzy produced and sold a large number of limited edition photographs. Her real passion for painting was rekindled when she began working on compositions and ideas from her photographs using acrylic paints.

Two visits to Barcelona inspired Suzy to paint a series of vibrant and exciting abstracts based on the amazing serpentine bench in Park Guell. In September 2006, this successful collection was exhibited in a one- woman show, Suzy’s first exhibition at the Fountain Gallery.

The Barcelona abstract paintings led Suzy to the introduction and exploration of surface texture in her work. Since then, using these developed techniques, she has painted a colourful series of ‘larger than life’ exotic fruits inspired by a trip to Cape Town.
Suzy maintains that her art is not necessarily about the subject matter but all to do with the way she sees it. She is motivated by constantly challenging herself with new ideas and techniques and feels she is on an exciting, enjoyable, continual learning curve!

Suzy has now exhibited widely in Surrey and Sussex and at the Battersea Contemporary Art Fair. She also has a permanent collection of work at Crawley Hospital, W. Sussex and has sold work to both corporate and private buyers in the UK, Holland, U.S.A and Japan.
