Susan was born and educated in South Africa and developed a love of books at a very early age. There were no other distractions such as TV. After travelling extensively, she took a degree in psychology and social work before working for the social services.

 

After having two children Susan did a part-time illustration course at Chelsea College of Art and has since worked consistently. She lives in Chiswick, London, with her two children and cat and hobbies include, travel, reading and socialising with Eunice and fellow illustrators.
