Susie trained at Dartington College of Arts, Brighton Expressive Arts and Falmouth Art School.

She worked as an Art Director in film and TV until 1997 and then as a professional artist based in studios in St. Ives and West Penwith, Cornwall.  Since 2007 she has been based in Scotland and is currently living in Aberdeenshire.

Susie was a finalist in the Jolomo Scottish Landscape Painting Awards in 2011.

"The works in this exhibition have been produced over the last 18 months and are a response to the West Coast of Scotland - Arisaig, Rhum and Eigg and also Debussy's 'La Mer'.  I visited the West Coast on a sea kayaking trip in 2019 and was fascinated and inspired by the weather. Unable to paint or photograph due to the fierce conditions, I was forced to mentally retain all, to be released later via the medium of music.  The title 'Symphonic Poem' suggests a musical interpretation of a landscape."
