About Susanna
I'm an abstract artist based in Norwich, Norfolk. For as long as I can remember, being creative has been an outlet for me. Art has always created a space to process and make sense of life and has often enabled me to express what I struggle to say with words. Initially beginning with ceramics, my work has evolved over the years into intuitive abstract painting. I grew up with a love of travelling and an interest in people and different cultures. This grew as I moved to South Africa after finishing my A Levels and has continued as I have travelled and experienced different cultures, most recently Germany, where I lived for 5 years. A couple of years ago I found my way back to Norfolk with my husband and little girl. It was during this international move that painting quite simply became a necessity for me.
Starting a degree in Psychology in 2022 has enabled me to explore the relationship between art and psychology in my work. It is art as a therapeutic practice that drives me, and I consider the study of this subject to be integral to my work.
