Susie Hamilton Nurse/1, 2021 Acrylic and Pastel Pencil on Paper Signed verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) I live and work in east London and make paintings, drawings and prints. My work often depicts figures in urban or natural wildernesses, a desert or a shopping mall for instance. The figures in my paintings are frequently solitary and may seem overwhelmed or challenged by their environments and also by my method of painting which defaces or abstracts them into mysterious, metamorphic shapes.
