Susan Edwards

I was born in Wales and have lived in Aberthin for over 30 years and completed a fine art degree at University of Wales, Cardiff as a mature student in 1996. 

I am currently working as a painter and print maker and a part time tutor at Llanover Arts centre Cardiff and Cowbridge Community College. I belong to a group of artists working in the Vale called VOGA [Vale of Glamorgan Artists]. we exhibit as a group and also run workshops for children and adults in the area.

Open Studio Event with artists in the Vale of Glamorgan coinciding with the Vale of Glamorgan Music Festival (held annually at St. Donats Arts Centre.)

My work originates from observations of natural forms that I see in my surroundings. The shapes and colours of growing and decaying processes of plants; shapes formed by the elements, erosion of rocks. The continuous cycle of life.

Drawing is an important part of understanding of how things are formed and in the development of ideas. I work in mixed media, often combining the processes of print making (collagraphs) with painting and drawing. I like to use colour in my work to express the enjoyment of the natural world.

Some of my works are shown below.
