Painter, Contemporary/Abstract―Landscapes, Marinescapes, Colourscapes (Sydney, Australia)
Suzanne grew up Western Australia and Malaysia, lived in London in her 20's then finally settled down in Sydney in the early 90’s. She spent 15 years as a senior executive in the corporate world – book industry, peak industry body, industrial negotiations and NGO's. This wide range of experience led her career into Executive and Life Coaching, Leadership Development Advising and Corporate Training with multinational organisations.
A late blooming artist, Suzanne came to art from a deep inner prompting after an extended period of illness and a journey with cancer. Her colourful and interesting life has contributed to the vitality and vibrancy so evident in her work.
Her need to express light led her deeper into the exploration of mixed media and use of textures to create life and movement in her paintings giving a richness and depth to her work. As her art has developed and changed two things have always been apparent, her love for colour, light and movement and her strong sense of depth.
A life fraught with challenges has led to a deep exploration of inner worlds and the discovery of much beauty, which she endeavours to communicate in her art. She has been a lifelong seeker, beginning her quest seemingly before she could walk and has been a diligent student of the Ancient Wisdom traditions of the East and West for over 30 years.
Suzanne's evolving style uses vibrant colours and blended tones, her works are primarily large contemporary abstracts, working predominantly with acrylics and textures on canvas, this combined with her unique life perspective, her work creates a deep evocative response.
Suzanne also accepts requests for private art commissions ¬– Original Corporate or Private Commission Art and Hotel Interior Design Art. Subject matter determined by the specific project at hand. Gallery enquiries welcome.
