About Suzanne Hennegrave

​

Suzanne Hennegrave Artist and Educator BA Hons, MA

 

Suzanne Hennegrave is a contemporary abstract painter and art educator. She paints in acrylics, oils and mixed-media, from memory and experience, and her work is developed using artistic intuition. Much of her inspiration comes from the beauty of her surroundings, living in the South Downs National Park and her most recent work is an emotional response to the walls in the Souks of Morocco. Walls like reason create divisions and distinctions from moving freely. By erecting walls, we expose ourselves, our secret fears, and anxieties.  Walls are a provocation and a blessing due to the philosophical and cross-cultural conversation that takes place between those who built them and those who want to tear them down. The worn surfaces of the walls and the mandala motifs in my paintings invite you to meditate and find fragments of such discourse in the layers of life revealed.
