Creating story, memory and meaning
Old family photos haunt me, I have no idea who they are, other than they are my family. These lost faces feed my practice, I create stories as I work with their photos, making a connection to those who have gone before me.
My art is deeply personal, these photos are my only link to my family, and I find drawing, painting, and stitching, mainly large-scale pieces, brings me a sense of my place in the world even if it is mainly brought from my imagination.
ABOUT SUSAN
Susan has taught mainly adults for many years, those just beginning their artistic journey through to graduates in their field. She has lectured, exhibited and judged throughout the UK and Europe.
She has a need to create her art to enrich her life, it makes her life real, it makes sense of her life.. she needs to write and draw, to free her mind, to focus her, and to go forward then to create the art.
She makes observations of people and the relationships between them, the way they interact, and nearly always works with the human form. Drawing, painting, printing, and stitching are the rhythms of her work.
Susan is an Artist living in Hampshire
