Artist Demo – 9 May 2025
Susan Clare
My Underwater Life – Marine Creatures in Acrylics

This artist demo will take place on 9 May 2025 in Market Hill Rooms, Fish Hill, Royston SG8 9LB (map). Please note that this and all subsequent artist demos will start at 7.30pm and end at 9.30pm.

Over 30 years ago, Susan went to Jamaica using her sub-aqua training as a passport to a 6 month travel adventure. This trip turned into a fully fledged career in scuba diving. Since returning to the UK in 2013, she has been searching for a way to share her love of the underwater world through her art.  Susan’s latest body of work celebrates the creatures, colours and atmospheric depths that inhabited her daily life in the Caribbean reefs.

Susan paints in watercolours, acrylics and mixed media. She is currently aiming her paintings towards improving ocean awareness, so that the viewer can feel connected with and protective of our natural world.  Having spent most of her adult life in Jamaica, she paints her tumbling tropical garden, faces full of character and the Caribbean reefs and adds atmosphere using ambiguous passages of texture and light, or colour and pattern. 

Susan leads workshops, give talks/demos to art groups, takes commissions and guides painting trips to the Caribbean as well as being included in numerous exhibitions.
