See my TWP YouTube video of Susan in her studio here (filmed in 2022)

She has exhibited in over 25 solo shows across Australia and New Zealand and has been involved in many more group exhibitions.

Her current work deals with the issues she’s been focussing on in the last few years, particularly the treatment of women in our society and the violence which exists not only in our communities but also in the home. She addresses these themes in her upcoming Sydney show ‘Pinned to the Wall’. Her work is also touring the country in another show, ‘Moving House’, which is a collaboration with her partner, artist Peter O’Doherty, and looks at life when the family is frequently on the move.

She also painted over 450 portraits for her 2008 show ‘900 Eyes – Domestic Lives’ and we talk about how she went about preparing for that exhibition.

Susan also gives great insights into the nature of creativity and what it means to make art.

All works we mention in the show are on this page.
