Artistic expression has always been a saving grace and a driving force in her life. Susan has worked with clay since the age of 5, benefiting from art classes and formal education, culminating in a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Ceramics from the University of Oregon in 1983.
Susan creates both functional and non-functional ceramic wares, often inspired by her many travels. Her decorative style is a reflection of nature and architectural motifs and her love of drawing and painting.
A resurgence of painting begun some years ago. Her depictions of landscapes, seas, skies and clouds are often from cherished places on Vancouver Island, Canada and the Pacific Northwest.Her paintings are influenced by emotions, evolving style and colour palettes which all come directly from within. The paintings often come forth in a rush of energy. Every painting contains a piece of her soul.
Susan’s artwork can be found in various shops and galleries in the surrounding area and up and down the west coast of North America. She has resided on Vancouver Island since 2007. She is an active member in the BC Potters Guild.
