Portrait Sue Gunn at Barge House

ABOUT

I have a fashion background and enjoyed a varied career buying womenswear for Harrods and Harvey Nichols.

I later built up a fashion distribution showroom called Scout representing international brands in the U.K.

After leaving the world of fashion in 2014, I began my artistic journey, trying a variety of classes from painting in watercolour and oils to life drawing and etching.

In 2016 I achieved a Diploma in Art and Design at Putney School of Art.

An Introduction to Pottery class at PSAD sparked my enthusiasm for clay. I studied at Morley College London where I gained a HND Ceramics with distinction in 2020.

I live in SW London and create in my small garden studio.
