Susan worked hard to develop her painting technique and devised new ways to get the depth of texture seen in many of her paintings. She frequently uses a type of Lino print technique and enjoys the serendipity element that this can create. She has expressed her joy by using bright colours in her work and has drawn on her religious knowledge and musical background for the subjects of her paintings.
The exhibition is being run by Camross woman Josephine Phelan.
