Hello! I’m Suzie and I’m an illustrator and art and yoga teacher from London based in Melbourne, Australia. My creative career began at the age of ten when I started making and selling beaded jewellery, which later inspired me to study jewellery design at Uni. After a few years of working as a jewellery designer and maker, I packed up and moved to Australia where I am now very grateful to live with my beautiful husband and our toy poodle Jesper.
My creative endeavours and passion for yoga and meditation are deeply integrated, and my work is heavily influenced by the natural world, compassionate living, and energetic rituals and practices.
I’m happiest with a fineliner in my hand, music in my ears, a cup of tea by my side and incense swirling around me. When I’m not drawing, teaching or practicing yoga, you’ll find me teaching kids art classes at Gloworm Studios.

I acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the land that I live, love and work upon, and their connections to land, sea, community and culture. I offer my deepest respects to Elders past, present and emerging, and extend this respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
