A fun introduction!

Hello and welcome! I’m Su, a lifelong artist with a passion for painting and teaching others to unleash their creativity.
Originally from Manchester, my artistic journey has taken me across the UK, the USA (Connecticut), and now to the beautiful Maine et Loire in France.
I’ve had the joy of exhibiting my work wherever I go and drawing inspiration from the incredible artists I meet along the way.
In 2023, I was honoured to receive the Highly Commended award from The Artist magazine and to be named Runner-up International Artist of the Year for my self-portrait.
