ARTIST BIO
Susanna MacInnes is a London based plein art artist, who has always been passionate about painting. She developed her practise while studying with Gottfried Pengg-Auheim at L'Ecole des Beaux-Arts, Rennes.
Susanna documents in paint the people she meets and the places she visits are at the very heart of her work. By travelling with her oil paints and painting in situ, Susanna hopes to "bring home" the honest truths that she discovers, conveying real life situations, as well as taking in the scenes she has witnessed at first hand.
A talented artist who was a wild card in the last season of Landscape Artist of the Year and received a mention for her painting of the Gateshead Millenium Bridge. More recently, she has taken to her rooftop to paint during lockdown and inspiring many with her artwork from a bird’s eye view.
Featured Artwork - ‘Reflections’
There’s something so restful about being by the water. I’m continually drawn towards it. As a child all our family holidays were aboard my parents boat. From the boat I would stare out to sea and wonder at the water and how I might paint it. It’s been a long standing passion of mine!
Thankfully only a short walk from my home is Clapham Common where there is a beautiful boating pond. Post lockdown I have been setting up my easel by the water and enjoying the feeling of freedom of being outside and in particular capturing the many colours reflected in the water as well as the bright, sunlit trees along the path. Utter bliss!
