"...delighting in and affirming life through interaction with water, its metaphors and its poetry..."

Darren Harvey-Regan

“My work always begins with water - often with the sea. This kind of ‘elemental communion’ makes me both agent and advocate for this precious wilderness.

Since my MA at Plymouth University, I continue my poetic exploration of water - its philosophies and strategies - through the alchemy of paint. ”

Susie David

I experience water as sanctuary in a busy world. My paintings echo water’s qualities, and seem to convey something of this meditative space - and the precious wilderness within.

Each of my paintings is original. I believe, more now than ever, in the presence and material encounter of physical art - especially painting - where substance communicates with our psyches on a level not entirely understood.

At various times throughout the year, I make small series of original works available to own. These works are made available first to collectors and the curious on my email list. If you find yourself curious or would like to be included on my priority email list, simply contact me directly by clicking here to let me know.

Found a message-in-a-bottle on this morning’s swim. I write about it in my recent blog on my website. Not sure whether it should be opened. What would you do?

Falling out of bed and into a dawn mid tide sea. The viscous water catches me and lifts up up up.

It’s good to know, that water ‘earths us’, soothes us, and is therefore, healing, but also that year-round wild water plunges don’t come without risks, I have been swept out to sea by currents a few times now, so do take care if you venture in and always go with a friend. I set up a group called The Sprats so locals can send out a bat signal in the early hours to meet up for a swim and watch out for each other.
