Susannah Paterson

Artist bio

Susannah Paterson is a surrealist painter and potter living in Curl Curl on Sydney’s Northern Beaches. Since retiring from 30 years as a psychotherapist, she now works full time as an artist, steadily building a tribe of collectors of her unique paintings and beautiful pottery.

Born and raised in the Scottish Highlands, Susannah migrated to Australia in 1995. In 2005 she attended art college at TAFE for two years . Following art school, she continued to learn from some of Australia’s leading artists, including several years under the tutelage of the late Kerrie Lester, a much missed mentor.

The need to explore the surreal, unreal, and imagined the unconscious and unseen forces through colour and gesture is her primary motivation.

Never one to conform to norms or current fashion, her art continues to evolve and develop in her own authentically unique style.
