I was so fed up buying clothes that didn’t fit properly that I decided to learn how to make as much of my own clothing as possible. Mostly through trial and error (and a whole lot of mistakes!) I learnt how to make all my own clothing. I now make everything I wear as well as anything else that can be sewn! Without a doubt, I am at my happiest when I am at my sewing machine making something new and exciting. Sewing is my form of therapy and meditation. With the added bonus that I get someth...

Different opportunities have opened up, for instance through POW!Thanet, including a collaboration with East Kent Mencap, ‘See Me & Hear My Voice’, and an exhibition ‘Life Lit Up’ in Clift...

I am a painter and sculptor with over three decades of experience as an exhibiting artist. I moved to the UK in 1982, but my family's Margate ties go back to the 1940s and 1950s when they were antique dealers in the area. My artworks embrace the beauty of simplicity, and the splendour of the natural world, with particular focus on flowers, seascapes and marine and beach life; encouraging viewers to connect with the sublime and the unremarkable. I have exhibited globally, when living in ...

I’m Susie and I live in Broadstairs in Kent in the UK ‘A Dance in the Moon Garden’ is my first book and it took me over a year to create. The initial ideas for the text came to me when I was driving in the rain and the windscreen wipers had a distinct rhythm, which seemed to suggest a rhythmic poem. The original images are watercolour, fine coloured pen and gel pen on Saunders paper. Some of them took more than three days to produce. I studied Fine Art at Newcastle University for six ye...
