Animals are Susan’s best strength when painting and drawing, she specialises in horses, cats, dogs and also wild animals. She loves creating personalities, movement & habitats and pays great attention to fine details.

Susan has created commissions of animals and people’s beloved pets and has received great feedback about her work. Susan was born in Hampshire, grew up in llfracombe, and is now living in Torquay, Devon.

“My father taught me the way around the pencil and paintbrush and I became the youngest member of Ilfracombe Art Society, of which my Father and I were both members, and I sold many paintings and pottery pieces.“

“All my life I am hard of hearing but I haven’t let that get in the way and I believe that being deaf has helped me in seeing art in a different light.”

Susan attended a one year Art Foundation Course at North Devon College where she discovered her love of ceramics, then for a further five years she studied Art and Ceramics at Cornwall College where she gained two Diplomas in Art, graded with Distinction.
