Susie Perring

 

Susie is drawn to quiet places in nature. Sunlit trees; reflections in ponds and deep water; wild creatures and plants; these are her subjects.  Her work is often imbued with wry humour – in an animal’s expression or a pun in the title.

 

She works almost entirely in aquatint, creating tones on the printing plate rather than drawing lines. She uses multiple plates to create darker tones to contrast with the bright colours of her subjects.

 

Susie studied at the London College of Printing in the 60’s and worked as a graphic designer until the 80’s, when she became a full-time artist. Her work is in many galleries in the UK and she has completed several commissions for cruise ships. Her work is often in open exhibitions, including the RA Summer show.  You can see more of her work at www.susieperring.com
