Susan Brown has participated in numerous group exhibitions including the Royal Academy, the Royal Scottish Academy, the Royal Watercolour Society and the New English Art Club. In 1994 she was artist in residence at the York Early Music Festival.

Susan Brown's work has also won her recognition at the Laing Art Competition and the Hunting Art Prizes and she was a winner at the Singer & Friedlander/ Sunday Times Watercolour competition. Her work has been selected for exhibition at the Discerning Eye exhibitions in London from 2001 and she won The Penrose Purchase Prize at The Discerning Eye Exhibition in 2005.

Her watercolour style is unique and innovative. She manages to handle her subjects in a spontaneous manner, creating bold lively images but retaining absolute confidence and control over her medium.

Artist’s statement:

‘I see my work falling into two areas, the real and the unseen.

The first area of work, the ‘real world’ is a figurative recording of life, predominantly architectural studies of existing surroundings, often exploring the mathematics, rhythm and movement within structures and the relationship between man and his built environment. This induces a reminiscent response.

The second 'the unseen’ falls into abstraction. Influenced and inspired by landscape and events the work focuses on texture and pattern, on strata and rhythm. This induces an emotional response.’
