Biography

Susie Elliott is a painter and printmaker. Her landscapes and figures are an exploration of memories and ideas where recurrent themes are examinations of self, home/land and the diasporic condition. Born in Suva, Fiji, Susie lives and works between Fiji where she currently resides and Aotearoa New Zealand. She has exhibited in solo and group exhibitions and has been the recipient of art awards.

Susie states: “Every artwork I’ve made is often an attempt to address questions I don't hold the answers to. I feel that journey to self-discovery through the work is for me often what matters most rather than the arrival. But in finally arriving the pleasure I find is seeing how the work over time, stands on its own by being viewed through a prism of our individual responses to it. And there is something gratifying in that.”
