Susan paints in watercolours, acrylics and mixed media. Her work expresses light, colour and vibrancy, encouraging a feeling of being connected to, and protective of the natural world.  

During many years in Jamaica, after a career in scuba diving, Susan painted from the studio of Jannette Eyles, (RA trained sculptor and painter), for several months. She showed her first solo exhibition, at the Round Hill Hotel in Jamaica, in 1997.  She specialised in portraits for many years, but her first love has always been the natural environment, inspired by her tumbling tropical garden, Caribbean faces and the underwater world. Regular solo or two-artist shows followed yearly, in various locations in Jamaica and Florida.  Since 2013, Susan has reconnected with her native UK countryside, coastlines and wildlife. She now spends her time between the two countries, having attained national recognition in the UK, exhibiting, tutoring workshops and giving talks/demos for art clubs. (Since 2020 she has been on her magical hilltop in Jamaica and runs an online painting club.)

​Susan's work has been shown at many exhibitions around the world as well as being in many private collections and has won numerous awards including being a finalist at the DSWF Wildlife Artist of the Year 2018 Exhibition, at the Mall Galleries, London.
