Susan Long – UK Artist - Lincolnshire
Born in 1961 – Rhodesia/Zimbabwe. Moved to the UK in 2000
A Self-taught artist, Susan has an individual style with an open mind that has not been constrained or inhibited by a formal art education.
Susan began using Paverpol back in 2006 and fell in love with it immediately. Thanks to its versatility and ease of use with other mediums, her sculpture creations progressed year on year, helping Susan’s dream of becoming a professional sculptor come true.
At the beginning Susan created and sold original Paverpol works only but demand for her art became so strong that she needed to diversify, she now casts from her original work into either Bronze Resin or Foundry Bronze. Paverpol is however still at the heart of the creating process along with other mediums.
Susan exhibits her work at some of the country’s top events, including the world renowned RHS Chelsea Flower Show. She was invited along by the RHS in 2013 and has exhibited with them every year since. To show her work at its best Susan and husband Graeme, along with a small team of helpers, build a complete garden at the show. It is Chelsea after all!
Susan said “The RHS Chelsea Flower Show is our favourite of the year, to exhibit amongst some of the worlds top artists is an honour – and to see the royal family stroll around the show just takes my breath away, I really do have to pinch myself. I often remember how I started, in the spare room at home as a hobby”
