Hi, I’m Susan and I’ve been painting furniture for nearly 40 years.  It started as a hobby at craft fairs, but then I needed to make some money! So I scoured house clearance places, charity shops, boot sales, Ebay and Marketplace for interesting pieces of furniture that needed some TLC – sometimes a lot of TLC! And that’s how Sue Davies Design Studio began. I then got into painting murals and trompe l’oeil, but furniture was always my first love.

At Area 51 Woodturning I produce (in my very limited spare time) unique wood-turned items. These include bowls, platters, vases and artistic pieces. I often use texturing and colouring techniques to enhance the final finish.

I work mainly in ink drawings, often coloured with watercolour. However recently I have learned to use the Ipad (Procreate) to do digital illustrations and also to work up outlines and ideas for drawings and paintings on paper. I like to do pictures that tell stories. These include celebratory panoramas of London and New Orleans, a visual history of the Tower of London, and illustrations for a modern version of the ancient legend of Orpheus and Eurydice.
