Suzie Dennis
Artist
Suzanne has always had a passion for art. She grew up on a farm in the Lockyer Valley where the wide open spaces and lush surroundings influenced her creativity. She studied art at school at which she excelled. She continued making art while working in her chosen profession and won prizes in many competitions and shows that she entered during this period. In the late 1980s she established her own very successful business as a fabric artist creating and designing one-off hand painted garments. Following this she completed a visual arts degree at the Queensland University of Technology. This was an exciting time as she was able to immerse herself in her art studying fibre art, ceramics, photography, painting and art history. On completing her degree life’s circumstances saw her returning to the workforce and once again her creativity was put on hold. After a break she then enrolled at the Brisbane Institute of Art and formed a group with likeminded artists called 10 Plus One. This group worked together and held exhibitions at BIA in which Suzanne exhibited and sold her work. For the next 10 years she did very little creative work as her working life took priority. Fast forward to 2020, a move to Bribie Island and retirement it was time to get her creative spirit working again. Suzanne loves to make images that sing to the soul. She has a passion for still life and turning ordinary mundane objects into something extra ordinary. Her paintings are loaded with autobiographical content using her household objects that she has made and collected over the years and turning them into her lived experiences.
Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.
