Susie gained her honours degree in 1991 and lived in Bristol working as a freelance illustrator. In 1998 she started studying for her Masters Degree in Printmaking. During this time she continued practising as a commercial artist and started to draw images using fibre tip pens of local architecture and the built environment. She started working with silkscreen printmaking in order to colour her line drawings and found a natural affiliation to the process learning the age old disciplines of etching and relief printing along with modern processes such as silkscreen, always based on her love of drawing.
In 2001 she completed her Masters Degree with a collection of silkscreen prints and etchings all drawn from important places in her life, made as a large series of postcards. From there she was launched into the gallery scene, selling work in galleries in London, Bristol, Bath and Cornwall.
Her earliest editions have now all sold out and in the last year she has started using D'Silva editions in St Just in Cornwall to help her make her more recent silkscreen prints. Everything that she produces remains completely handmade by either herself or David D'Silva and is of the highest technical quality and strictly limited in numbers.
