Born and raised in Queensland Susan spent all her early years in and around the small towns and fishing villages between Brisbane and Yeppoon. As the eldest of 5 children and mother of 3 there was always an outlet for drawing in school projects and homework but a career in art practice was never considered.

“In 2000, as a mature aged student studying Social Sciences at James Cook University in Townsville, a drawing class, offered as an elective to Archaeology forever changed the course of my studies and life”.

What followed was 4 years of the most amazing exploration of my creativity, self-awareness and expression.
