Susannah Bond
Susannah Bond is a Melbourne-based artist who is best known for her textural still life paintings, and representations of rugged landscapes and seascapes. With a practice inspired by 20th Century French painters Nicolas de Stael and Bernard Cathelin, Bond uses oil paint and cold wax to create vibrantly coloured and harmoniously layered scenes. Painting from her home studio, Bond often evokes a sense of nostalgia through her composed moments of still observation.
Bond holds a Bachelor of Arts degree specialising in Visual Art from Deakin University, as well as a Bachelor of Arts, Linguistics from La Trobe University and a Bachelor of Arts, English from the University of Melbourne. Since returning to her painting practice in 2010, Bond has been selected for Artist of the Year three years in a row at the Victorian Artists Society, and has exhibited at The Toowoomba Gallery in Queensland. Bond’s works have also featured in the Art Edit Magazine, Home Beautiful and Grand Design magazines.
