Suzsi is a London based mixed media artist. She studied constructed textile design at the Royal College of Art and painting always played a large part in her design work.
In recent years she has been channelling her interests into exploring new experimental painting techniques on paper and canvas rather than fabric.
Her long career in textile design continues to inform her process and the subject matter of her paintings, which are built up using layers of textured gesso, watercolours, inks, acrylics or oils and are then sanded and re-worked or collaged back together to develop a unique and enigmatic identity. She also sometimes incorporates her digital textile designs into the paintings using image transfer techniques directly onto the paper or canvas.
Themes include cityscapes, landscapes and still life. She has had work shortlisted for the Royal Academy of Art Summer Exhibition 2022 and paintings selected for the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolour exhibitions from 2018-2022, the Royal Watercolour Society in 2019, and the National Open Art exhibitions 2016-17. She also exhibits through open studios, group exhibitions and with several online galleries. Her work has been sold to private collectors throughout Europe, the USA, UK and Australia.
