Painter and Potter Susannah Paterson gives us an insight into working with multiple mediums in the Fine Arts industry.  

Susannah Paterson spent three years at TAFE college studying Fine Art and Ceramics (2004 - 2007), numerous workshops and courses with some of Australia's finest teachers. Since 2016 she has attended the Open Studio Program at Brookvale TAFE (Northern Beaches) Ceramics Department under the guidance of Master Potter Christopher James.  

"I have always been a dreamer, and influenced by the imaginal worlds. I was born into a Scottish Highland farming family and sent to an English boarding school at the age of 8. My parents were divorced and both remarried . My father remained on the farm in Scotland, and my mother moved to London, married a jazz pianist and lived a bohemian life. It was between the stark contrast of these three lives that I found refuge in the creative - dreams, fantasy, music, stories and art." - Susannah Paterson.  

She became a Psychotherapist in the early 1990s and have very recently retired. It is no surprise that my work in this field greatly influences her art practice. Susannah Paterson  explores ways to integrate painting and pottery more and more, either through painting images from my paintings onto large platters, or using those wheel thrown platters as canvases. She also enjoy making Dogimals (dog-like animals) as a way of honoring animals.   

"My work is always evolving. I am obsessed with color, emotions and the need to keep drawing the viewer’s attention , as I might have drawn a client’s attention to what is unseen, unexpressed, invisible and what has potential and infinite possibility." - Susannah Paterson.
