THE ARTIST
Susie Smith
Interior Designer. Artist. Maker. Collector of beautiful things.
With more than two decades of experience in interior design, Susie Smith approaches art from an understanding of how people experience space.
Her sculptural artworks combine her longstanding love of textiles and embroidery with feathers, reclaimed vintage beads and other decorative elements.
Inspired by nature, colour, movement and light each work s individually composed and entirely one of a kind.
For Susie, interior design has always been about more than aesthetics. With over two decades of experience, she creates spaces that are functional, expressive, and deeply personal.
Susie’s talents extend far beyond the world of interiors. Driven by a desire to create something tangible to enhance a space, she recently embarked on a new artistic venture, crafting unique works that combines her love for nature by using feathers and her long practised skill of embroidery by forming beaded hand-sewn central pieces for her artworks. This chapter in her creative life draws upon her love of textiles and sewing which are demonstrated in striking, one-of-a-kind pieces.
What truly defines Susie’s textile art is the intention behind it. Working mostly with recycled beads, each bearing its own past, she arranges them to create fluid, watercolour-style compositions. Guided by biomimicry, her work reflects the gentle transitions of colour, light, and shadow found in nature.
For every statement artwork commissioned, a contribution is made to carefully selected charitable initiatives that support the future of our communities and environment.
