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

“My work always begins with water - often with the sea. Elemental communion makes me both agent and advocate for this precious wilderness
Since my MA at Plymouth University, I continue my research into water - its philosophies and strategies. ”
Susie David
For me, I find that swimming in wild water ‘earths’, soothes, and is therefore, healing. I experience water as a calming retreat - a meditative place in a busy world. My paintings echo water’s qualities, and therefore become a space that acts as a meditative retreat.
Each one of my paintings is original. I believe, more now than ever, in the presence and material experience of authentic first hand art - especially painting where substance communicates with our psyches on a level not entirely, if at all, rationally understood.
When you bring original artworks into your sanctuary it imbues that space with the spirit with which it was made - and here, in these works, that spirit is water - our precious wilderness that surrounds us - and is always within us.
