suzie's biography
Suzie has dreamed of being an artist since the age of 8, when she was first inspired by her Great Aunt Mary Kidd- a botanical Illustrator in South Africa.She studied Art and Design at the West Suffolk College in her home town of Bury St Edmunds, before moving to the University of Hertfordshire in 2000 to begin a degree in Graphic design and Illustration.
During the following three years she developed a deep interest in creating artwork for children, choosing to write and illustrate a series of short stories as a final year project. She graduated in 2003 with a 2:1 BA Hons.
Suzie works in a variety of media, including acrylic on canvas and collage, and creates work ranging through traditional, childrens' illustration and abstract styles. She welcomes individual commissions in all sizes and is planning to lanch her range of quality art prints for sale in the very near future.
She lives in Suffolk with her family and their rotund, loveable Scottish Terrier.
