Artwork Description

Sightlines, perspective lines and travel lines, both real, imagined and ancient, traverse the landscape.
I pushed the lines of the landscape down to the most minimal shapes possible and exaggerated the tones, but still wanted the layers and texture and of the land to show through.

Artist Bio

Coming from a performance & theatrical costume background, Suzy uses her knowledge of colours to explore new techniques in painting and especially mixed media.


Allowing the scene to dictate the technique or method used to capture it, Suzy's work often ranges between naturalistic and impressionistic.
Many of her pieces explore textures and shapes in the details of nature, and the way we interact with it. In particular, she has been exploring how we pass through the surface of a scene - the notion of being IN but not OF the landscape.


In 2020, Suzy used her time in isolation to complete new works for a solo exhibition 'SOJOURN'. β€œIt was great fun to tell my stories and share in the memories my paintings evoked in the visitors.”
Since 2021, Suzy has also been using cold wax medium & oil paint, to build up a depth of layers in her works, often excavating to reveal underlying colours.


Suzy continues to be inspired by our vibrant Australian contemporary art scene to keep exploring acrylics, cold wax, oil paints, oil pastels, acrylic inks, charcoal and collage both in the studio and en plein air.
