I'm Barb and I have the privilege of being Sue's daughter and working with her.
Her work is full of light and life.
We now how the pleasure of showcasing Barbara Draycott's work in the gallery. Barbara is Susan's sister and you can click here to view and purchase her work.
Throughout her life Susan has painted. Born in London in 1947, Susan was greatly influenced by her Father, a Master Printer, taking time out to be married and raise two children. Susan has travelled extensively living in Australia and Singapore before returning to the U.K. in 1983.
Largely self taught, for Susan the one thing she is clear about is that she knows what she wants to get across to the viewer: to portray the beauty in all things, painting only subjects and creatures that she holds great affection for.
Over the past twenty years Susan has painted to commission for private and corporate collectors.
