Susan lived an idyllic childhood in Margaret River ( West Australia ), making most of the forests and beaches. Those early experiences have had a major influence on her respect and love of the environment and its wildlife. The family moved to Perth and as a teenager Susan completed an Arts Diploma at James Street Arts  College.
Settling in the Coolup area with her husband on a small farm, the original house was converted to a studio and the passion for oil painting, pastels expanded to ceramic sculptures and also glass work. Susan's passion and love is reflected in the work produced and has proved popular in the galleries she exhibits.
Susan has achieved a great deal of satisfaction as a wildlife carer and using her creative skills has where possible, donated drawings and sculptures, to raise funds for wildlife preservation. The love of the Australian Bush and Jarrah forest animals are regularly represented in Susan's work both in a humorous and serious manner.
