Susanne's love for bold colours shows up in her paintings. She works mainly in acrylics on canvas. Her still life paintings feature flowers, fruits and decorative objects. The frequent use of patterns evidences her other creative passion, namely textile design. Susanne graduated in 1985 in Marburg and Kassel, in Germany, as a teacher of art, German and French. She went on to teach art and modern foreign languages in Germany and from 2001 in Norfolk, while at the same time pursuing her drive to paint and engage in creative experiments, such as encaustics. She has pieces in the collections of the European Patent Office, Munich and in private collections in Germany and the UK. She has exhibited in Germany (Marburg and Munich), Norfolk and Henley -on-Thames. Alongside her painting career, Susanne now focuses on training as an illustrator and surface pattern designer. She has lived in Norfolk, which she loves, for almost 20 years
