Raised on the Cornish coast Susie's fascination with the beach started from the moment she could walk. Growing up spending her time in rock pools and strand lines developed a passion for the sea and sparked her inspiration to becoming be an artist. Having completed an art degree in London Susie then illustrated seashore guides for various publications before a successful career as a commercial artist. She returned to her roots in Cornwall to develop her painting, design and photography that reflect her Cornish lifestyle.
