Suzanne Davies

Painter Suzanne Davies studied at Newport College of Fine Art and took still life classes at St Martins School of Art whilst living and working as an Editorial Photography Producer in London. Beginning with small story-board sketches, she composes her paintings just as a photo stylist might arrange a shoot, setting up still life scenes using objects from around her home, or food and dishes from her kitchen based on recipes that inspire her. She combines her subject matter with the colours of the landscape and ocean around her home on the North Cornwall coast, to create semi-abstracted works inspired by artists such as Matisse, Lartigue, Adams and Penn.
