Suzanne is a self-taught oil-painter based in Forres. She has a background in landscape design and graphic design, but her real passion is for the visual arts. She chose to dedicate herself to this passion in late 2019.

As a keen observer of bird-life, of wildlife tracks in the mud, and of the light filtering through the canopy, Suzanne’s art practice is as much outdoors as it is in the studio.

Through working and living with the land in her background as an organic grower, Suzanne has developed an intimate connection to the natural world and this feeds her inspiration every day.

“When Nature fades from our hearts and minds, we become impoverished, uprooted, isolated. We often don’t realise how we long for this connection until we find it again. I paint to reveal the magic and the deep beauty of the world that surrounds us. Through my work, I invite people to realise that so much of the fulfilment we’re seeking is right here - in the morning fog lingering in the fields, in the crackle of distant thunder or in the graceful flight of the Heron.”
