Tuesday Talent - Suzanne Breakwell

 I first saw Suzanne's work in an exhibition called Animal Tales showing at The Gallery in the Bay in Cardiff.  The work is both fine and original, the detail is quite enchanting.  Loving everything birdy I found myself drawn to her work.

She is an English artist/maker based in Brighton with a background in model making for film and set decoration. She works essentially in paper using wire, paper mache, pages from books and cotton rag papers.  She uses ink to paint the cotton rag papers & printed paper to add vibrancy to her sculpture. The birds look like they could just fly away.  I like also the attention to scale within each sculpture, the birds are proportional to their life sizes and each is finished so beautifully.

She exhibits regularly and you can buy from her website at 'www.suzannebreakwell.com'.  The website contains galleries of her lovely work and insight into her process - it is well worth a look. For a complete list of her stockists take a glance at the exhibition page on the website.
