Susan is an Architect and Printmaker, based in Graphic Studio Dublin, producing etchings in aquatint, drypoint and mokuhanga. She is a member of The Watercolour Society of Ireland, Dublin Painting and Sketching Club and VAI Ireland and works as Studio Administrator for Graphic Studio Dublin, where she has curated and managed several print exhibitions for Studio members.
Susan’s fine-art prints record urban and coastal landscapes. Structures, buildings and the topography of a landscape, studied in the context of their immediate environment are all explored. The built and natural environment defined by the sea is of particular interest, producing studies of lighthouses, towers, skylines and built landmarks against a moving surface of sea, a recognisable landscape or a coastal view. Her etchings often refer to Dublin Bay and the Irish coast with a series of recent work on Atlantic shores in Ireland and New England, producing a collection of lighthouse etchings from both sides of the Atlantic Ocean.
Recent exhibitions include RHA & RUA Annual exhibitions, Kanreki at The Model Sligo and Nara, Japan, The Watercolour Society annual exhibitions and internationally in Europe, USA and Canada. Her work is available through Graphic Studio Gallery, Dublin. Susan’s work is in national and international collections, including The National Library, OPW, NI Civil Service Collection, University of Limerick, Fingal County Council and The National Botanic Gardens, Dublin as well as international private collections. She has been supported by Fingal County Council, DLR County Council / Creative Ireland and The Arts Council.
