Suzy Fasht

My paintings are based on quick drawings made on the spot. These are developed in watercolours and oils in the studio where they evolve into imagined worlds. I graduated from the Royal Academy Schools in 1998 where I was tutored by some truly inspiring painters.

I have been a self-employed painter since then, having completed a year's residency for The London Business School and commissions for The Laura Ashley Foundation, Chevron UK, and private individuals. I was awarded the Worshipful Co of Painter Stainers post-graduate degree prize in 1998. Another award was the M&G Royal Academy Summer Exhibition prize.

I moved to Devon two years ago. My pictures revolve around the theme of landscape, but this is really just a starting point from which to explore the abstract concerns of colour, composition and space on a flat surface and along the way unexpected visitors enter the picture!
