Biography
Susie has spent most of her working life as a professional interior designer, since qualifying in Spatial Design from Bournemouth & Poole College of Art and Design in 1997. Susie’s projects have included some of the most prestigious addresses in Prime Central London, which has included specifying art pieces to suit the design and colours of the room.
As well as Interior Design, Susie has always had a passion for being creative and recently started creating her own unique pieces combining feathers and hand sewn beads, displaying her love of both textiles and sewing. Most of the beads are recycled creating a watercolour effect in the pieces where the colours fade into one-another.
Living on the coast in West Sussex and walking on the beaches and in the harbours,, enables Susie to collect discarded feathers from other beads apart from pheasant and duck. All of Susie’s pieces are entirely one-offs and a labour of love with no oen piece being the same as another.
