Susan’s paintings are a welcome salve to the soul in these troubled times. An artist of great talent and integrity, her works remind us that beneath all the chaos there is an aesthetic continuity in British art that defies fad and fakery. Her paintings lift the spirits, morning rooms dappled by sunlight and lamplit armchairs by the fire conjure a world of serene tranquillity, far from the madding crowd.

Over the last four years Panter & Hall have selected the very best of her new paintings, squirrelling them away wet from the easel to arrive at the current beautiful collection.
“In our opinion one of her strongest shows to date, it demonstrates the innate sense of colour and deftness of brushstroke for which she is justly celebrated.”
-Panter & Hall

There are so many facets to Susan’s work but light plays a dominant role. Whether natural or electric, the luminosity brings warmth and atmosphere to the paintings, enlivening surfaces with a loaded brush where the light touches.
