Synopsis: Susanne talked about her recent move back to New Zealand and how it is a challenge getting started on your art practice after a big change and how important it is to find your local art community. She shared how she makes collagraph handprints and how she created an online course to share this unique form of printmaking to others. I am looking forward to seeing how her art changes with the different scenery!

Artist Statement: "I'm an artist who loves to paint, create Collagraph Handprints and Sculpt. Ialso find people fascinating to draw and paint.

One of the joys of my life is to share my passion for art and the lifeenhancing effect of creativity with others. I teach workshops for art clubs, work internationally with people in my online video printmaking course andoccasionally teach in my studio.

My overall vision for my life is to become more compassionate as a person and reduce suffering upon this planet. In my art life it is to create well considered, uplifting and authentic art and then have it go out into the world to bring joy and pleasure to others."
