of England; 'The Long Journey Home' group show, Quiggins Gallery,

The paintings shown on this website are a selection
of both abstract and representational work.
The abstract paintings (mixed media, large scale
on canvas to small works on paper) are very organic in form,
and topography is one of Suzanne's major sources of inspiration.
In contrast the farm animal paintings (oils
on canvas in a range of sizes) have developed from charcoal
life drawings and photographs taken from a local Sussex farm.
Each of the portfolio galleries contains thumbnails
of Suzanne's work, or a detail of a painting. Clicking on
these thumbnails will open a window with a larger image of
the painting. As the site is quite image 'heavy' non-broadband
users may find the galleries take a little while to appear
- please persevere.
